Kasteel Gendt, Medieval castle ruins in Gendt, Netherlands.
The remains of Kasteel Gendt stand on the original site where a water castle protected the territory, featuring defensive structures and a strategic position.
The castle first appeared in records from 793 when Walter and Richlint donated the property to the monastery of Lorsch under Charlemagne's protection.
The former residence of Gerward van Gendt, who served as an imperial librarian in the first half of the ninth century, represents local nobility influence.
The archaeological site preserves foundations and structural elements that reveal the original layout of this medieval fortification in the Lingewaard municipality.
Emperor Lothair I gave the estate to Rorik in 850, but it returned to Lorsch in 860 after insufficient protection against Viking attacks.
