The castle of Wouw was probably built in the second half of the thirteenth century as a round 'water' castle with a diameter of 40 meters. This castle had an outer bailey and was surrounded by two moats. The fortress was built from monasteries and the walls had a thickness that varied from one to one and a half meters. Due to the emerging threat of modern gunpowder weapons, construction of a fortress around the castle started at the end of the fifteenth century. This fortress had four corner towers that connected with earthen walls to a new IP front gate and an outer moat of 42 meters wide. The outer bailey was also modernized during this period. The castle of Wouw stood on the plot that still bears the name Kasteelweide today at the end of the Casteelse Dreef that can be reached from the Waterstraat and the Boomhoefstraat. Along this lane runs the Wouwse stream, which used to feed the canals of the castle with water. The castle grounds are now a protected archaeological national monument. The plot is located northwest of the village of Wouw in West Brabant. Wouw is now a village within the municipality of Roosendaal.
