Loevestein Castle
Loevestein Castle is a medieval water castle in Zaltbommel, Gelderland, built in the late 14th century by Dirk Loef of Horne. Located at the junction of the Maas and Waal rivers, it was later expanded into a fortress and used as a prison from 1619. Today it functions as a museum and cultural venue.

As it stood in 1575
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact square brick keep with high, nearly blind curtain walls and a steep slate roof punctuated by gabled rooflines, small dormer vents and weather vanes. The masonry is reddish-brown brick with narrow vertical slit windows and a few larger shuttered openings; a metal access ramp meets a low door at water level. The castle stands surrounded by a broad moat and low grassy earthen banks, with a separate cylindrical tower with a conical roof visible across the water.
