Magnificent Muiderslot Castle (Amsterdam)



The most beautiful and best kept medieval castle of Holland

The country's most famous medieval castle is the Rijksmuseum Muiderslot in Noord-Holland's Muiden. This stronghold on the estuary of the Vecht was built around 1280 by Count Floris V, but in 1296 it was destroyed by Bishop Willem van Mechelen. In 1370 a new castle was built on the remains of the old one, which remains in perfect condition to this day, 600 years later.
