Domburg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Most of the castle has been demolished over the centuries and is likely to be used again in the surrounding villages. But it is still nice to look at.

New record for average speed😏
When you have to cut tours to size, the data isn't exactly accurate...the GPS also kept dropping out.
