Coevorden Castle, Medieval castle in Coevorden, Netherlands
Coevorden Castle is a medieval stone fortress situated in the town center where major trade routes once intersected. The structure features defensive towers and narrow elongated windows on its rear facade, reflecting its original military function.
The fortress began as a wooden tower surrounded by moats when built in 1025. It was transformed into its current stone structure in 1402 under Bishop Frederik van Blankenheim.
The castle appears on the Drenthe provincial flag as a symbol of regional identity. It stands as a focal point that connects the town to centuries of local tradition and military heritage.
The building operates as a hotel, restaurant, and event venue at Kasteel 29 in the town center. Visitors can experience the fortress as an active gathering place rather than an enclosed historical site.
A replica of the fortress stands in Vancouver, Canada, honoring explorer George Vancouver's family connection to this town. This distant echo reveals how the explorer's ancestors remained tied to their original home.
