Batenburg Castle, Medieval fortress ruins in Batenburg, Netherlands

The remnants of Batenburg Castle include three round towers with basements, a ring wall, and parts of the original gatehouse along the moat.

The castle underwent multiple transformations since its initial construction in 1300, facing sieges and attacks before its final destruction by French forces in 1795.

The castle grounds serve as the venue for the annual Batenburgse Dag celebration, featuring traditional Dutch crafts and market stalls each July.

Guided tours of the castle ruins operate every second Sunday between April and October, providing access to normally restricted areas including dungeons.

The fortress maintained strong connections with the Batenburg Windmill, which belonged to the castle estate during its operational period.
