Nederland - Kasteel Helmond
The construction of Kasteel Helmond (Castle Helmond) started around 1325. The castle was the replacement of an older castle, known as “ ‘t Oude Huys”, which was located hundreds of meters west. Kasteel Helmond was owned by several noble families, like the Berlaer, Cortenbach and Arberg family.In the year of 1781 the castle would fall into the hands of Frederik Carel Wesselman.
The construction of the new castle took a long time. It was not until the end of the 17th century that it had roughly reached its present form. Kasteel Helmond, which originally served as a military defence fortress, came through the centuries relatively unscathed. However, there was a short siege during the Eighty Years' War by Prince Maurits van Oranje.
In 1921, the castle was sold to the municipality of Helmond by the last Lady of the family Westerman under the stipulation that the castle would be used for the municipal administration or other public use. The Lady’s wishes were respected and the castle served as a town hall from 1923 until the 1970s. Very little remains of the original interior of the castle as the structure had continually been updated throughout history. A few stucco ceilings and several fireplaces are the only original features.
Kasteel Helmond - the largest moated castle of the Netherlands - nowadays houses a museum, exhibiting the history of the castle and its owners. It also still hosts weddings.

I wonder if we'll be able to say that about some of our modern architecture after a few hundred years use.
A seriously great set of photos Jaap...........top notch work!
Even though the interior was somewhat outraged, the whole set is still admirable and worthy of its status as the largest moated castle in the Netherlands.
Remarkable views and captures that make it worth visiting. But there is so much to discover...: you should present some kind of route that would allow us to follow a thread - your country is not that big ;) - your gallery allows it, more than enough!
Kind wishes for the end of this week.
Schöne Grüße und einen guten Abend
Erich
Thank you for the note Jaap.
