| The demolishment of the castle lasted until 1581. The two western towers remained standing, as they were part of the outer city wall. However, they were also demolished piece by piece in the following centuries; by 1919 they had completely disappeared. The foundations of Vredenburg castle were uncovered during archeological excavations in 1976 and 1978.
