Introduction Castle Stein
The Stein castle is perhaps the most interesting monument from the recent history of Stein. It is located in the valley of the Putbeek, a stone's throw from the Archaeology Museum. The castle dates back to the early 13th century, when Stein emerged as an independent Imperial Fiefdom from a former Carolingian royal estate under the sovereignty of a lord or baron. Both for securing and protecting his territory and his subjects, and in recognition of his supreme authority, he possessed the right to a defensible castle.
