Ravesteyn

The town of Heenvliet is located on the island of Voorne in South Holland, a place that is now part of the municipality of Bernisse. Directly south of the center, where the Ambachtshuis is located, is the ruin of Ravesteyn castle. Around 1250, the Heenvliet or Ravesteyn castle must have been built here by a member of the Van Voorne family, perhaps as the successor to a wooden predecessor.
