Karsveld Castle, Medieval castle in Waterop, Netherlands

The castle complex includes a neo-Renaissance mansion from 1931 with stepped gables, constructed on the remains of a medieval motte surrounded by a moat.

The first recorded inhabitant, Hezelo van Kinzweiler, received the estate in 1146 from the Maastricht Chapter of Saint Servatius as documented in their archives.

The name Karsveld originates from Lewe van Carsvoirt, a 14th-century member of the Aachen court who leased the property from Saint Servatius Chapter.

The castle grounds now function as a mixed-use property, hosting a law firm in the main building while the farm offers accommodations for visitors.

In the basement, visitors can examine fragments of an 18th-century sculpted fireplace, while next to the manor stands a well covered with a gravestone from 1632.
