Helmond Castle is a square medieval castle located in the city of Helmond in the province of Brabant. The design of the castle features four corner towers and is without a central tower, or a donjon. The layout of the castle is very similar to other fortresses in the area, including Radboud Castle, Ammersoyen and Muiderslot. In terms of defensive capabilities, Helmond and other castles with similar designs proved to be better defended.
Construction of the castle began somewhere around 1325. Helmond was the replacement of an older castle, known as ‘t Oude Huys, which stood hundreds of yards west of the castle. In 1981, excavations revealed the original structure’s dungeon and a few artifacts.
