Burcht van Leiden is a historic fortification located in the city of Leiden, Netherlands. Constructed around the 11th century, this circular castle is one of the oldest examples of its kind in the country. The Burcht sits atop a man-made hill known as a motte, providing strategic views over the surrounding area. Originally built to protect against Viking invasions, it later served as a defensive structure during various conflicts throughout the Middle Ages.
