Gelderse Toren, Medieval defensive tower in Spankeren, Netherlands
The Gelderse Tower rises along the Gelderse IJssel River, featuring gray plastered walls and neogothic architectural elements from its 1868 renovation.
The foundations of the tower date back to the thirteenth century, with the first written records mentioning the structure appearing in documents from 1535.
The tower forms part of the extensive De Geldersche Toren estate, which spans 109 hectares and includes historical gardens, orchards, and oak-lined paths.
The tower received monument status in 1970 and currently functions as a protected national heritage site within the municipality of Rheden.
Hendrik van Lunteren and his son modified the estate's water features between 1844 and 1846, creating an island accessible by a small bridge.
