The Former Maelstede Castle Site with Outline is a unique historical landmark situated in an agricultural area southeast of the "Linie van Communicatie" in Kapelle, Zeeland, Netherlands. This site, resting at an elevation of 51 meters, preserves the memory of a late-medieval castle, Kasteel Maalstede, by recreating its original footprint. While the castle itself is long gone, its outline has been thoughtfully reconstructed using stone baskets and steel wire, allowing visitors to visualize its former grandeur.
