Archaeological site De Annenborch in 's-Hertogenbosch

You're standing at the Annenborch in Rosmalen, or rather at what's left of it. Look at the mound in front of you, with that big tree on top. That's a monumental Dutch linden, probably planted in the second half of the eighteenth century. Locals know it as the convent linden of Rosmalen. And the mound is no accident. A motte castle probably stood here as early as the thirteenth century: a stronghold on a man-made hill, surrounded by a moat.
