Wijlre Castle

The castle stands near the Geul river with three servant wings, mansard roofs, and surrounding gardens established in the early nineteenth century.

Construction of the current castle structure began after 1652, replacing an earlier medieval fortification that occupied the same strategic location.

The castle complex holds national monument status as a Rijksmonument since 2004, preserving architectural elements from different historical periods.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds, gardens, and art exhibitions during scheduled opening hours throughout different seasons of the year.

The castle incorporates a defensive casemate from 1939, adding a modern military element to its traditional medieval architecture.
