Coevorden Castle, a fortified residence and a national monument, has had a rich and turbulent history. Located in swamp areas on important transit routes, especially those between the Hanseatic cities of Münster and Groningen, and with lucrative toll rights, the fortress was of great strategic importance. Possession of the castle changed frequently, often accompanied by violence. The castle played a role in important events such as the Battle of Ane in 1227 and the Siege of Coevorden in 1592. It has been plundered, destroyed and rebuilt several times.
