Schaesberg Castle, Renaissance castle ruins in Schaesberg, Netherlands.

The castle structure displays architectural elements from the 16th and 17th centuries, including high stepped gables and a staircase tower at the main entrance.

After the death of Frederik Sigismond Theodoor in 1733, the last noble resident of Schaesberg Castle, the property remained uninhabited and gradually deteriorated over time.

The castle represents the Maasland Renaissance style through its construction technique of alternating layers of brick and natural stone in the foundations.

The castle reconstruction project, started in 2012, offers training opportunities for students and craftsmen to learn traditional building techniques and restoration methods.

Archaeological excavations in the 1970s and 1980s revealed multiple architectural phases and numerous artifacts, indicating the presence of an earlier medieval structure.
