Groenestein, Historic gate of medieval castle in Langbroek, Netherlands
The remaining stone gate stands on an arched bridge, representing the last visible element of the former fortified residence Groenestein.
Between 1377 and 1414, Willem de Ridder van Groenestein constructed the castle while serving under Bishop Frederik van Blankenheim during the Arkel Wars.
The gate features the coat of arms of De Ridder van Groenesteyn family, who maintained strong connections with German nobility in Mainz.
The gate structure forms part of the Sandenburg estate and can be accessed via the first right turn after leaving Cothen towards Langbroek.
The original defensive structure transformed into a manor house between 1749 and 1760, before its demolition in 1862, leaving only the gate intact.
