Coevorden Castle, Medieval castle in Coevorden, Netherlands

The stone fortress features defense towers, elongated narrow windows on the rear facade, and sits at the intersection of important trade routes.

Built in 1025 as a wooden tower with moats, the castle transformed into a stone structure in 1402 under Bishop Frederik van Blankenheim's direction.

The castle stands as the only fortress in Drenthe province and appears on the provincial flag, representing centuries of regional military influence.

Located at Kasteel 29, the building now operates as a hotel, restaurant, and meeting venue, maintaining its position at the center of local activities.

A replica of the castle stands in Vancouver, Canada, commemorating the ancestral connection between Coevorden and explorer George Vancouver's family.
