Why the Netherlands Has Fewer Castles Than You'd Expect

Why does the Netherlands have only 600-700 castles when Germany has 25,000+ and Belgium has 3,000+? Its a story about geography, merchant capitalism, wars, and choices that set the Dutch Republic apart from its neighbors. Note, the Hoekse en Kabeljauwse twisten (Hook and Cod wars) in the 14th and 15th centuries also led to sieges and demolitions, for example Oud Haerlem, destruction at Brederode, Rosenburgh & even Slot Zuylen suffered some damage.

Dit is het verhaal van overstromingen, oorlogen, en economische keuzes die de helft van de Nederlandse kastelen deed verdwijnen. Van de 1.200-1.300 gebouwde kastelen blijven er slechts 600-700 over. #geography #castle #netherlands #history #mapping #geographymapping #medievalhistory #geografie #aardrijkskunde #kasteel #documentaire
