Château Borgitter, Castle in Kinrooi, Belgium.

Château Borgitter is a rectangular castle with seven bays across two floors, topped by a mansard roof. A square corner tower on the eastern side adds to its distinctive form.

The castle was built in 1610 and changed hands in 1699 when Johanna van Malsen married Waleram van Waes. This marriage shifted control of the surrounding Kessenich lordship.

The grounds blend residential buildings with former agricultural spaces like Breukskenshof and Grotenhof farms, showing how rural properties evolved into family homes. This mix reveals how the estate operated as both a noble residence and a working farm community.

The castle sits at Kasteelstraat 20 in Kinrooi, near the Dutch border. From there, visitors can follow a popular cycling route through surrounding villages.

The castle's location was shaped by 19th-century tax advantages that favored placement on Belgian rather than Dutch territory. This history reveals how economic interests influenced border decisions in the region.
