Slot Abcoude, Medieval castle in Abcoude, Netherlands.
The castle foundations and restored moat remain visible in the farmlands south of Abcoude village, revealing a hexagonal defensive structure.
First recorded in 1268, the castle underwent destruction by Gijsbrecht van Amstel and subsequent reconstruction in 1328 with added fortifications.
The fortress served as a key military stronghold in the Amstelland region, protecting surrounding territories from invasions and conflicts.
The archaeological site is located one kilometer south of Abcoude, accessible near Landlust farm along Koppeldijk.
Provincial soil research in 1995 confirmed the main keep's irregular hexagonal layout, distinguishing it from traditional castle designs.
