Netherlands
The fortifications of Valkenburg refers to the whole of the defensive works around the historic centre of the South Limburg town of Valkenburg. The visible remains of the Valkenburg fortress comprise the castle ruins of Valkenburg, the former bulwark Den Halder, parts of the town wall, several defensive towers and three town gates. With the exception of the Geulpoort, rebuilt in 2014, these are rijksmonumenten.
