Description:
From the medieval castle of Berge we can see only ruins. They are located in one of the districts of Rotterdam in the old cemetery. The castle was built in the XIII century and towered on a mound created from sand. There was a moat around the castle. It is believed that the castle was founded by William the Second Dutch. The towers of the castle were ten meters by ten.
In 1426 the castle was destroyed by Jacob of Bavaria. And it stood for many, many centuries. In the XIX century, a special entrance was made to the castle, and the entire territory is fenced. In 1969, archaeological excavations were carried out on the site of the destroyed Berge Castle. Currently, the foundation and walls of the castle are about one and a half meters high.
