Kasteel Helmond, Medieval water castle in Helmond, Netherlands
The rectangular fortress features four circular corner towers with conical roofs and remains encircled by a protective moat measuring 1.3 meters thick.
The Van Berlaer family constructed Kasteel Helmond around 1402 to replace their first castle, located 250 meters southwest of the current structure.
The castle now houses the Kunsthal Museum Helmond, serves as a wedding venue, and maintains its Council Chamber for municipal functions.
Visitors can explore the castle from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00, with closures on Mondays, Carnival days, and major holidays.
The structure stands as the largest water castle in the Netherlands, incorporating both medieval defensive elements and modern architectural modifications from 1922.
