Geulle Castle

The L-shaped farmstead structure contains three preserved fireplaces from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with eighteenth-century gate pillars across the road.

Built in 1620 for Walter van Hoensbroek, the original U-shaped Renaissance castle was largely demolished in 1847, leaving only the outer buildings intact.

The castle grounds represent the evolution of Dutch noble residences, transitioning from a defensive structure to an agricultural estate over several centuries.

The remaining structure functions as a protected national monument under the Rijksmonument designation, preserving architectural elements from multiple periods.

The castle site stands at the former confluence of the Geul and Maas rivers, marking the location where these waterways met until 1485.
