Thanks John, Dan and Larry.
Larry found the right spot.
If you are interested here is more information about the famous countess
Jacoba van Beieren who owned this fortress as a summer residence in the
15th century.

Quite interesting, Henk, Thanks for sharing.
It somewhat resembles a Viking "Ring Fortress." Exactly where is it
located?
It is very cool.
It seems to be someplace near here:

I found this, there is probably a better page that doesn’t need to be
translated someplace.

It’s hard to tell how high the walls are from that angle, or for that matter
how high they used to be.

Subject: PESO: fortress from the air
I recently got myself a new toy, a DJI mini 2 drone, to get some pictures
of the nearby wooded dune area.
Here a picture I took today at 58 meter of the remain of a fortress built
in the 12th century in the centre of our
village.
