Hunenborg, Medieval fortress ruins in Volthe, Netherlands.
The Hunenborg fortress consists of a main castle and outer bailey surrounded by earthen ramparts and moats spanning 5 hectares of woodland.
Archaeological excavations in 1916 revealed an oval-shaped terrain of 100 by 150 meters with wooden palisades and stone building foundations from 1050.
The site holds national monument status as a Rijksmonument, representing medieval Dutch defensive architecture and archaeological preservation efforts.
Visitors can reach Hunenborg by taking a train to Oldenzaal, followed by bus 64 to Agelerbrug stop and a thirty-minute walk along the canal.
The fortress walls contained a core of stacked heath sods covered with sand, measuring 3 meters wide and 2 meters high.
