Aldenghoor Castle, Medieval castle in Haelen, Netherlands.

The castle features a round brick and marl tower from the 15th century, accompanied by two perpendicular wings with distinct wolf's back roofs.

First documented in 1212 as the fortified residence of the lords of Ghoor de Horne, the castle later served as a convent for Ursuline Sisters in 1903.

The interior spaces exhibit architectural elements from different periods, including a sandstone fireplace and halls decorated with Louis XV style paneling.

The castle functions as a bed and breakfast establishment, offering accommodations and dining services with advance reservations required for visits.

Three of the original four towers were destroyed during a siege by mercenaries of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands in 1598.
