Kasteel Hilligersberg, Medieval castle ruins in Hillegersberg, Netherlands
The stone remains of Huis ten Berghe consist of a residential tower measuring 10 by 10 meters situated on the Hillegondakerk cemetery grounds.
The castle, constructed in the 13th century on a sand layer with an artificial hill, met its destruction in 1426 during the forces of Jacoba van Beieren.
The castle site serves as a testament to medieval Dutch defensive architecture and showcases the historical development of Rotterdam's northern districts.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through the cemetery at Kerkstraat 43, except during funeral ceremonies taking place on the grounds.
The castle foundations rest beneath an artificially created hill, representing one of the few remaining medieval defensive structures in the Rotterdam region.
