Strijen Castle, also known as Kasteel Strijen or Slotbosse Toren, lies in the outskirts of the town of Oosterhout, in the province of Noord-Brabant in Netherlands.
what is remaining of the former Strijen Castle in Oosterhout is a single tower fragment of seven storeys high.
The building of Oosterhout Strijen Castle probably started in 1288 by Willem Willemszoon van Strijen.
In 1573, during the 80-Years war, the Strijen castle in Oosterhout was destroyed after a siege by Spanish troops. It was never rebuilt and fell into decay. In the next centuries the castle ruin was used as a quarry for stones which were used to repair roads and a church in and around the village of Oosterhout.

If you visit Oosterhout in Brabant, the Strijen castle is not to be missed.
