Castle De Bongard, Medieval castle in Bocholtz, Netherlands.

The castle follows a square layout with a central gate tower, round corner towers, and walls constructed from brick and Kunrader limestone.

Built in 1523 by Bernard van Bongard on earlier foundations, the castle remained in the possession of noble families until the French Revolution in 1795.

The architecture incorporates elements of Mosan Renaissance style, featuring late Gothic details and Renaissance galleries within the inner courtyard.

Located at Schoolstraat 40 in Bocholtz, the castle functions as a private residence and remains closed to public access.

The nineteenth-century reduction left only two wings of the original structure standing, connecting the gate tower with one corner tower.
