Kasteel van Obsinnich

The castle structure incorporates a Romanesque tower built with sandstone blocks, featuring twin windows and multiple connected wings around a central courtyard.

The site began as an Augustinian priory in the 12th century, endured three fires in the 13th century, and transformed into a castle through the 17th century.

The eastern wing contained stables while the southern section from 1622 housed an infirmary and brewery before its conversion into agricultural facilities.

The castle grounds connect to cycling routes in the region, with the River Gulp flowing through the western garden section.

Oak doors with intricate carvings and embedded tombstones in the pavement display the emblem of abbess Marie de Golstein.
