Muiderslot

Muiden Castle (Muiderslot) is a compact medieval brick castle at the mouth of the Vecht river in the Netherlands. Built on a rectangular plan with a surrounding moat, it retains its cylindrical corner towers and steep slate roofs and today functions as a national museum with interiors restored to the 17th century.

The shape it held in its prime.

Compact rectangular castle of reddish-brown brick roughly 32 by 35 metres, set within a broad water-filled moat. Four cylindrical corner towers rise from the curtain wall, each topped by a steep conical slate roof and metal weather vane; the curtain wall is crenellated and pierced by narrow vertical slits and small rectangular windows with red shutters. A low stone bridge crosses the moat to an arched gate between towers. Behind the wall the steep dark-slate roofs show stepped gables and small dormer windows.
