Slot Honingen, Medieval castle ruins in Kralingen, Netherlands.

The castle featured a square layout with two octagonal towers, one round tower, and one square corner tower near the Meuse River.

In 1318, Ogier van Kralingen pledged the castle to the Chapter of Brielle, marking its first documented appearance in historical records.

The castle site transformed into Park Honingen during the 19th century, becoming a public space with walking paths and a preserved pond.

The location of the former castle contains a water feature that formed part of the original moat system connecting to the Meuse River.

In 1573, the castle served as a prison for Sea Beggar William II de la Marck, Lord of Lumey, during the Dutch independence struggles.
