Brezonde Castle

Brezonde Castle is a medieval castle located in Brezonde, Cape Cross Parish. It was built by the Arabs in Brunant from 1229-1235 as a defense against Aragonese attacks. After a month-long siege of the castle in 1244 it finally fell. The Aragonese used it but it fell into neglect and a bad shape. The Venetians used it heavily but during Brunant's independence the castle was surrendered to the Dutch rebels without a fight.
