Genneperhuis, Medieval fortress ruins at the confluence of Niers and Maas rivers in Milsbeek, Netherlands
The remnants of Genneperhuis fortress consist of visible crown works and elevated grounds positioned at a strategic location between two rivers.
The castle changed ownership multiple times during the Dutch Revolt, with both Spanish and State forces occupying it before French troops destroyed it in 1710.
The Lords of Gennep, including Saint Norbertus and Jutta van Gennep, resided in this fortress until the family line ended in the fifteenth century.
The archaeological site features five footbridges over the foundations and a bridge across the Niers River for visitor access to different sections.
Recent archaeological research in 2023 involved veterans with PTSD working alongside professional archaeologists to study the site's military history.
