Kasteel Strijen, Medieval castle ruins in Oosterhout, Netherlands.
The remaining tower of Kasteel Strijen stands 26 meters high on an island surrounded by moats at the intersection of Bovensteweg and Hoofseweg.
Built around 1289 by Willem IV van Strijen, the castle marked the border between the County of Holland and the Duchy of Brabant.
The castle ruins represent the architectural evolution of medieval Dutch fortifications and received the status of national monument under Rijksmonument designation.
The corner tower remains visible from the walking path near Kasteeldreef, though the structure itself is not open for public access.
Archaeological excavations in 1932 and 1974 near the main tower revealed the original foundations of this three-floor castle with a six-story tower.
