Kasteel IJsselstein, Medieval castle ruins in IJsselstein, Netherlands
The Loyertoren tower stands as the remaining structure of Kasteel IJsselstein, featuring Gothic cross vaults and a spiral staircase within its walls.
In 1297, Bertha van Heukelom led the defense of Kasteel IJsselstein during a year-long siege while her husband remained in captivity.
The castle appears in the Dutch children's literature through the book 'Fulco de Minstreel', introducing younger generations to medieval history.
Museum IJsselstein operates guided tours of the castle tower, with dedicated tower guards providing information about the structure's architecture.
The castle's original foundation transformed IJsselstein from a simple fortress into a fortified city, establishing the region's first parish church in 1310.
