Saeftingher Slot, Medieval castle ruins in Saeftinghe, Netherlands
The remnants of Saeftingher Slot lie near the Verdronken Land van Saeftinghe, where storm tides and river currents shaped the landscape over centuries.
Built in 1279 by Countess Margaretha II of Flanders, the castle served as a strategic stronghold along the river Honte between Flanders, Zeeland, and Brabant.
The castle's location in the Verdronken Land van Saeftinghe represents the ongoing relationship between Dutch architecture and water management through the ages.
Archaeological investigations in 2001 attempted to determine the exact location of the castle, though only scattered remains have been documented in the area.
The castle structure included a square keep, two round towers, and a rectangular building with fortified walls, protected by a moat regulated through wooden sluices.
