Slot Heemstede, Medieval château ruins in Heemstede, Netherlands
The foundations of Slot Heemstede reveal remnants of defense structures, including a Peace Bridge, Duivenpoort gate, and stone entrance decorated with heraldic coats.
Built between 1280 and 1290, the castle faced multiple destructions in 1393, 1404, and 1426, until its final demolition in 1810 by sheriff Jan Dolleman.
The estate serves as one of four designated wedding locations in Heemstede municipality, preserving centuries of Dutch architectural and social traditions.
The Nederhuys section of Slot Heemstede functions as an event venue with multiple halls, open terraces, and dedicated parking facilities for visitors.
The Peace Bridge, commissioned by architect Adriaan Pauw around 1648, stands as an enduring symbol of the estate's connection to Dutch Golden Age.
