Kennemer is a castle in Viking Conquest located on the central island of Friese and can be reached via the bridges to the south, by ship, or by using the ferry station across the water. It is located South-West of Doccinga, North-East of Vles Inge, and North-West of Dorestad, the Capital of the Kingdom of Friese.
This was once the seat of government for the Frankish rulers of Friese, before they were overthrown by the Danish invades and Jarl Hrodulf Haraldsson was made ruler of the fort.
Brunhild (a companion) was the maid of the Jarl's wife. She tells the player that she wished to escape from Kennemer as the Jarl and his men would often take advantage of her and beat her.

Exterior[]
The settlement is divided into two parts by a river running through the middle. The southern most part is mostly farmland with a few houses. To get to the rest of the settlement, you must cross the river which has a single bridge connecting the two sections. The rest of the settlement's defenses consist of wharfs on the waterfronts and a wooden fence around most of the settlement. There is only one tower in the settlement and it overlooks the sea which is on the left-side of the settlement.
In the middle of the northern section is a marketplace where peasants and guards patrol (nothing can be bought at this marketplace). The Lord's Hall can be found here next to the Fort Reeve.
Interior[]
Lord's Hall[]
Upon entry, there are two thrones to the right where lords that are currently inside the fort will often stand next to. In front of the entrance is a table and bench arranged with food that will often be occupied by a guard. To the left are two guards and a fireplace. Beyond those guards are beds in rows, a chest (useable if you are the Lord), and the Lord's religious figure (a priest or a gothi).
Government[]
At the beginning of the game, Kennemer is occupied by the Kingdom of Friese and is patrolled by Frisian guards. The fort is originally owned by Jarl Hrodulf Haraldsson.
Religious Presence[]
Most of the populace of Kennemer is Christian but the original Lord, Jarl Hrodulf Haraldsson, is pagan.
Villages[]
The fort of Kennemer has two villages associated with it: Kennemer Terp and Doccinga.
