Radboud Castle

Noord-Holland · Holland · Castle

Kasteel Radboud, by the harbour of Medemblik, was built in the 1280s by Count Floris V but carries the name of Radbod, king of the Frisians. According to legend, the king had Christian prisoners thrown into a pit of quicklime, and their anguished cries are said to still be heard within the walls. His own daughter, who secretly helped the prisoners, was locked in the cellar with a crown of thorns on her head – and afterwards wore a golden cap for the rest of her life to hide the scars. A witch's soul is also said to be trapped in the old tower. The castle is now a museum.
