Muiderslot
The most famous medieval castle in Holland is the Muiderslot National Museum in Muiden. This fortress at the mouth of the River Vecht was built around 1280 by Count Floris V. Soon thereafter, in 1296, the castle was destroyed by Bishop Willem van Mechelen. In 1380, a new castle was built on the ruins of the old one. With a long and rich history, the castle is now a national museum and open for the public to explore its awe-inspiring rooms (restored to how they looked in the 17th century), as well as its collection of arms and armour.
