Huys Dever, Medieval castle in Lisse, Netherlands.

The residential tower stands with horseshoe-shaped walls nearly 2 meters thick, constructed of solid brickwork and surrounded by a protective moat.

Reinier Dever, a Dutch nobleman, commissioned the construction of this fortified residence in 1375, which later expanded into a larger mansion after 1630.

The castle museum displays archaeological artifacts discovered in the former moat, presenting evidence of medieval daily life in the Netherlands.

Visitors can explore the castle from Wednesday to Sunday between 14:00 and 17:00, with admission priced at 4.50 euros per person.

The foundations extend over 3 meters below ground level on a sandbar, preventing any subsidence throughout six centuries of existence.
