Huis den Engh, Medieval castle ruins in Vleuten, Netherlands.

Archaeological studies indicate the original structure was a square tower with 1.5-meter thick walls at the basement level, measuring 9.60 by 9.15 meters.

First mentioned in 1259, Huis den Engh gained recognition as a knight's court in 1536 and remained active until its demolition prior to 1832.

The Lords of den Engh held seats in the States of Utrecht as nobility members, participating in regional governance and political decisions.

The former castle grounds now feature a restaurant named Dengh, situated on the original moated island where the structure once stood.

Archaeological investigations in 2004 uncovered the foundations of the medieval tower, providing exact measurements of this thirteenth-century fortification.
