Wijnandsrade Castle, Medieval château in Wijnandsrade, Netherlands.

The castle exhibits a rectangular structure with towers at each corner, surrounded by two ponds and positioned within landscaped grounds in Beekdaelen municipality.

The initial fortress originated in 1100, while the current structure dates from 1554 with additional wings constructed between 1717 and 1719.

The transformation of Wijnandsrade Castle into a Franciscan monastery between 1930 and 1932 reflects the changing functions of Dutch historical buildings over time.

The castle now functions as offices and apartments, maintaining its structural integrity under the protection of Rijksmonument status since October 1965.

The name Wijnandsrade derives from Winant van de Bongard, distinguishing it from other locations named Rode, which means cultivated forest.
