Kasteel Veldenstein, Medieval castle ruins in Jaarsveld, Netherlands.
The castle remains consist of two rectangular moated islands that mark the locations of the former outer and inner baileys of the structure.
The castle, constructed between 1327 and 1384, met its end in 1673 when French troops set fire to the property during the Dutch War.
The designation as a Rijksmonument number 45755 reflects the architectural and historical value of this medieval defensive structure within Dutch heritage.
The castle ruins stand at coordinates 51.970789, 4.978097, on the northern bank of the Lek River, northeast of Jaarsveld village.
The tower of the castle continued to function as a prison after its destruction, until the last visible walls disappeared completely in 1826.
