Neuborg Castle

Neuborg Castle is a stone fortress near the Gulp River with building elements from different periods layered together over time. The complex features several structures grouped around a central area, showing construction methods typical of this region.

The castle developed after 1288 from an earlier fortification whose original earth mounds remain visible from town. This early structure was later replaced by stone buildings that show how the settlement changed over time.

The castle holds national monument status as a Rijksmonument, representing the architectural heritage and noble history of the Limburg region.

The castle remains private property and is not open to visitors inside, though its exterior walls can be viewed from nearby roads. The surrounding green landscape and river location make it pleasant to walk around the grounds from public areas.

During World War II the buildings hosted different occupants, first Jesuit priests and then American military forces. This shifting use during wartime left marks in both the castle's past and its physical structure.
