Peer Review

Consider adding more visuals to give readers an idea of what the castle originally looked like as well as minor aspects such as the siege tunnels and other interior spaces. The article itself is still very informative while keeping a neutral tone. The sources added are all reliable and offer relevant information, overall a great article.

Peer Review

The Lead you added is concise and shows the importance of the topic. Your content added clarity and informative facts to the article. The references you chose are relevant and neutral sources. I like that you added the list of castles in the Netherlands link. I believe the current state of the article is well organized. As Apercha suggested, it would be beneficial to incorporate more visual elements into the project. Overall, great contributions to the article! ZUPAN22 (talk) 05:57, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
