Huis ter Kleef is a former Dutch castle. Huis ter Kleef was built in 1250 and was called 'Huis te Schoten' at the time. The castle was the headquarters of the Spaniards in 1572 and 1573 during the Siege of Haarlem. In 1573, Huis ter Cleves was blown up by Don Frederik (son of the Duke of Alva). He did this to prevent the Geuzen from settling in the castle to recapture Haarlem. The remaining ruin is located in the Stadskweektuin.
