Castle Genhoes, Medieval castle in Oud-Valkenburg, Netherlands
Castle Genhoes features an L-shaped structure with a heavy corner tower, two distinct wings, and limestone walls surrounding a central courtyard.
The castle's first documented mention dates to 1041, initially serving as a fortified tower house before expanding through various construction phases.
The interior contains architectural elements including a baluster staircase, stucco ceilings, oak parquet floors, and a Louis XV style fireplace.
The castle, managed by Natuurmonumenten conservation association, functions as a private farm and remains closed to public access.
The cellar preserves an original dungeon that ceased operation in 1670, reflecting the castle's role in medieval justice administration.
