Kasteel Onsenoort, Medieval castle in Nieuwkuijk, Netherlands.

The residential tower of Kasteel Onsenoort features walls measuring 2.5 meters thick in the basement and 2.2 meters on the first floor.

Built at the end of the fourteenth century, the castle was destroyed in 1372 during conflicts between Holland and Brabant, then rebuilt by Jan Cuyst van Wijck.

The castle transformed into Mariënkroon monastery in 1903 when French Cistercian monks purchased the property and established their religious community.

The castle complex, located at Abdijlaan 6 in Nieuwkuijk, includes the medieval tower integrated with newer monastery buildings and gardens.

The castle walls contained hidden items from World War II, as residents attempted to protect valuables from occupying forces.
