Paddenpoel

9
2333 AS Leiden

The oldest mention of the Paddenpoel castle dates from about 1250. The first Paddenpoel castle was completely destroyed on 12 November 1393 as a reaction to the murder of Aleid van Poelgeest. Around 1396 a reconciliation took place after which the Paddenpoel castle was allowed to be rebuilt. The castle, probably formed from a fortified farm and hunting lodge, consisted of a heavy tower, keep with lower walls as a rectangle around it. Perhaps the later castle, from 1405 to 1420, was larger and also consisted of a second part: an outer castle with more living areas, stables, etc. The main castle was connected to the outer castle by a drawbridge over a moat.
