Hamtoren, Medieval castle tower in Vleuten, Netherlands.
The Hamtoren rises 35 meters above ground with thick brick walls measuring one and a half meters, containing six floors and a basement.
Built around 1260 near an inlet of the old Rhine, the tower was part of Den Ham castle and received city status recognition from Utrecht States in 1536.
The structure represents medieval Dutch defensive architecture and maintains original features including preserved medieval ceiling beams throughout its interior levels.
Currently under private ownership, the tower functions as a music studio and remains closed to regular public visits except during special occasions.
The restoration project integrated remote-controlled heating and water systems while preserving the medieval architectural elements of this 13th-century structure.
