Castle Egmond, Medieval castle ruins in Egmond aan den Hoef, Netherlands.
The remaining stone foundations outline a square main castle with a moated rectangular outer ward, featuring a gate house and defensive towers.
Built in 1129 by Beerwout I van Egmont, the castle served as the ancestral seat of the House of Egmont until its destruction in 1573.
The castle grounds contain a visitor center called Huys Egmont and the Slotkapel, presenting exhibitions about medieval Dutch nobility.
The castle foundations, rebuilt 30-40 centimeters above ground level, allow visitors to understand the original layout of this medieval structure.
A bronze statue of Lamoraal van Egmont stands in the castle moat since 1997, mirroring identical sculptures in Zottegem, Belgium.
