Dikke Tinne, Medieval castle ruins in Hattem, Netherlands

The castle foundations at Tinneplein reveal the location of former defensive walls measuring seven meters in thickness.

Duke Reinoud IV of Gelre ordered the construction of this fortification in 1404 as part of the northern defense system.

The Voerman Stadsmuseum exhibits the original copper weather vane, first foundation stone, and vault closure from the medieval structure.

Visitors can examine the remaining fragment of the castle at Adelaarshoek 18, known locally as Het Spookhuis.

Between 1512 and 1514, nobleman Jan II van Wassenaer endured imprisonment in an iron cage suspended from one of the castle towers.
