Kasteel Bokhoven, Medieval castle in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands

The castle features a main keep with thick walls, a gate tower, a hall, and a courtyard encircled by defensive structures and moats.

Jan Oem van Arkel built the castle in 1365 as a stronghold between the territories of Holland, Brabant, and Guelders under the Prince-Bishopric of Liège.

Archaeological excavations at the castle site revealed tin jugs, silver spoons, and meat forks, indicating the refined lifestyle of medieval nobility.

The castle included modern amenities for its time, with individual toilet facilities installed in each primary room of the fortress.

The French armies caused extensive damage to the castle in 1672, leaving only the northern outer wall standing as a testament to its former grandeur.
