Drakenburg, Medieval castle ruins in Baarn, Netherlands
The remains of Drakenburg stand near Castle Groeneveld, featuring remnants of its former residential tower and structural foundations from the 14th century.
Frederik van Drakenburg received the wild peatlands near Baarn from the Bishop of Utrecht around 1300, leading to the construction of the first court.
The castle demonstrates the evolution of Dutch nobility residences, transitioning from a defensive tower to an expanded estate with multiple wings and fortifications.
The site contains preserved architectural elements that showcase construction techniques from different periods of Dutch medieval castle building methods.
The property changed function in 1928 when it became a Volkshogeschool, serving as an educational institution until German occupation during World War II.
