Sparta-Stadium "Het Kasteel" is the stadium of the Dutch professional football club Sparta Rotterdam. It is located in the Spangen district of Rotterdam. The first version of the Castle was built in 1916, to a design by the architects J.H. de Roos and W.F. Overeijnder. The first football stadium in the Netherlands was opened on Sunday, October 15, 1916

The opening match at 'de Sparta Burcht' was played against Willem II. Over the years, the stands of "Stadion Spangen" were renovated and expanded several times. The most radical renovation took place in 1998–99, when the stadium was almost completely rebuilt according to a design by the architectural firm Zwarts & Jansma. The field was turned a quarter turn, so that "Het Kasteel" is now part of the Castle stand on the long side of the stadium, while it was previously located on the short side of the stadium. The name of the new stadium became Sparta-Stadion "Het Kasteel". It has a seating capacity of 10,599. The stadium reopened with a fireworks and laser show and a match against Glasgow Rangers, which ended in 0–0.

Only the building with the two turrets, to which the complex owes its nickname Het Kasteel for decades, was retained during the 1999 renovation, including the construction earthenware by Willem Coenraad Brouwer. That building was bought in November 2004 by the businessman Hans van Heelsbergen, who was then chairman of Sparta Rotterdam. Van Heelsbergen opened a catering facility and the Sparta Museum.

He also had the fanshop renewed; it was moved to the other side of the stadium and was about five times the size of the old fanshop. The shop now has two floors and, in addition to Sparta, also sells designer clothes.

In 2014 Sparta switched to an artificial turf pitch for cost reasons.
