Castle Buren, Medieval castle ruins in Buren, Netherlands
The foundations of Castle Buren reveal the layout of a rectangular complex with corner towers, defensive walls, and a gate tower spanning multiple acres.
Built in the 12th century and first documented in 1298, Castle Buren served as a residence for the House of Orange until its gradual demolition between 1804 and 1883.
The marriage of William of Orange to Anna van Egmont at Castle Buren in 1551 established lasting connections between Dutch royal families.
Archaeological remains of the castle foundations provide researchers and visitors evidence of the medieval construction techniques and architectural evolution through centuries.
The castle's design incorporated innovations by architect Alessandro Pasqualini, who transformed the medieval fortress into a Renaissance palace with advanced defensive features.
