Kasteel Develstein, Medieval castle ruins in Zwijndrecht, Netherlands.
The castle remains consist of visible foundations on an artificial island at the intersection of Develsingel and Plantageweg streets.
Willem van Duivenvoorde, chamberlain to Count William III of Holland, constructed the original castle after the Zwijndrechtse Waard area was enclosed by dikes in 1332.
During the 17th century, the castle functioned as a gathering place for artists and writers, similar to the cultural circle at Muiden Castle.
The DevelsteinCollege school, built in 1977, stands adjacent to the former castle grounds, which are open for public viewing.
A circular slate artifact discovered in 2005 bears mysterious inscriptions that researchers cannot definitively identify as either a sundial or educational tool.
