Castle Cartils, Medieval castle in Wijlre, Netherlands.

Castle Cartils stands near the convergence of three rivers: Eyserbeek, Geul, and Gulp, featuring a rectangular structure with a round tower from 1500.

The first mention of Castle Cartils dates back to 1257 under the name Curthils, with the lords of Cartils residing there continuously until 1792.

The castle complex holds Rijksmonument status, representing medieval architectural heritage through its marlstone construction and preserved historical elements from different periods.

Located at Kapolder 10 in Gulpen-Wittem municipality, the castle remains private property and requires advance arrangements for any potential visits.

The round tower added in 1500 remains the oldest surviving part of the castle, while the gate tower displays pilaster division with a dome roof.
