Kasteel van Sluis, Medieval fortress ruins in Sluis, Netherlands
The castle covered a rectangular area with 16 round towers, walls measuring 15 meters high and 3.8 meters thick along sides of 86 meters.
Construction of the castle began in 1386 under Philip of Burgundy, with France financing the project to control trade between Bruges and England.
The castle served as a meeting point for notable figures, including Philip of Burgundy in 1429 and Duke Charles the Bold in 1468.
The fortress remains are visible through elevated inner courtyard grounds located in the northern section within the city walls of Sluis.
Two parallel corridors ran through the defensive walls, connecting the towers and featuring arrow slits for protection.
