Castle Lichtenberg, Medieval castle ruins in Sint Pieter, Netherlands
The square stone keep of Castle Lichtenberg stands on a limestone mountain south of Maastricht, offering views across the surrounding landscape.
Construction began in 1212 under Hugo de Pierrepont, Bishop of Liège, with the lower part of the keep made from flint and millstone-grit materials.
The castle structure reflects architectural changes through centuries, transforming from a military stronghold to a fortified residence and farm after 1640.
The castle complex, restored in 1985, belongs to Natuurmonumenten environmental organization, with part of the bailey available as a holiday rental.
The ENCI company's limestone quarrying activities since 1922 have positioned the castle next to a steep, bare limestone cliff.
