Notes: In the fifteenth century, one of the largest castles in what is now the Netherlands stood on this site. At that time, the Egmond family was the most important noble family in Holland. The Lord of Egmond was the stadtholder (deputy) of the Count of Holland.
In 1573, William of Orange ordered the castle to be rendered uninhabitable, thereby preventing the Spanish from moving in. This marked the definitive end of the glorious castle; after a brief revival in which two towers were made suitable for habitation, the building was eventually sold to demolition contractors.
