Netherlands · Europe · 51.92°N, 5.94°E

De Waede castle was a medieval castle in Huissen, Gelderland, the Netherlands. It was built by the Counts of Cleves circa 1240 to control passage on the river Rhine, where they imposed a toll. This strengthened Cleves’ influence in the region of Huissen and Angeren. The name De Waede likely referred to the many nearby pools or scour holes left by Rhine River activity.
