Kasteel te Culemborg, Medieval castle ruins in Culemborg, Netherlands.
Kasteel te Culemborg is a castle ruin in the city of Culemborg made up of remaining walls, moats, and tower fragments. These remains show the original five-sided layout and how the defensive structures once worked together.
The castle was built around 1280 and expanded over generations. In 1672 French troops caused serious damage that left it in its current ruined state.
The grounds are named after the family that ruled here for centuries and shaped the region. Visitors can still see traces of this leadership today and learn how people lived during the medieval period.
The grounds are accessible throughout the year and visitors can walk among the walls and moats. Virtual reconstructions help visitors imagine how the castle originally looked.
The walls were unusually thick and show how defensive fortresses were built during that era. This strength helped it resist attacks and survive for many centuries.
