Kasteel Foreest, Medieval castle ruins in Beverwijk, Netherlands.
The castle remains stand amid a pond, featuring structural elements that reflect medieval defensive architecture from the thirteenth century.
The Van Foreest family commissioned the construction of the fortress in 1350, which later underwent modifications during different historical periods.
The castle represents the architectural preferences of Dutch nobility, receiving recognition as a national monument under Rijksmonument designation.
Visitors reach the castle site through a converted access road that now serves as a bicycle path connecting Gistelse Steenweg and Doornstraat.
The castle structure preserves only one completed wing, resulting from financial constraints during its initial construction period under Napoleon's chamberlain.
