Kasteel Maurick, Medieval castle in Vught, Netherlands

Kasteel Maurick stands on a green island in the Dommel river, featuring two slender entrance towers connected by a traditional drawbridge.

Built in 1257, the castle served as military headquarters for Prince Maurice of Orange in 1601 during the campaign against the Spanish forces.

The castle represents a combination of architectural styles from different periods, with elements dating from the 14th to the 19th centuries.

The castle functions as a restaurant and event venue, offering spaces for weddings, conferences, and private gatherings in multiple restored rooms.

During the siege of 's-Hertogenbosch in 1629, a cannonball from Fort Isabella disrupted Prince Frederick Henry's dinner, prompting his complaint letter.
