Vaalsbroek Castle

Vaalsbroek Castle is a U-shaped fortress in the rolling hills of Limburg near the tri-border point of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. The estate spans 18 hectares and today operates as a hotel with 130 rooms, a restaurant, and complimentary parking facilities.

The castle's first documented mention dates to 1420 when it served as a residence for the lords of Vaelsbroich, with its name derived from the terms Vallis and Broich. Over the centuries it remained an important noble seat before eventually being converted to a hotel.

The Von Clermont family shaped the castle as their residence, and their story is visible in the coat of arms motifs displayed in the courtyard. These symbols reflect the textile industry that once defined life in this region.

The grounds are easy to access with free parking available and charging stations for electric vehicles throughout the property. On-site dining options serve regional dishes, making a visit both practical and comfortable.

In the meadows south of the castle stands an 18th-century mausoleum designed by architect Moretti. The structure holds the remains of Johann Arnold Von Clermont and his family members.
