Broekhuizen Castle, Castle ruin in Horst aan de Maas, Netherlands
Broekhuizen Castle is a castle ruin along the Maas River in a small town in Limburg. Remnants of the original foundations, cellar walls, and stone footings from medieval times have survived.
The fortress began in the 13th century and grew larger with a tower added in 1473. It was damaged during warfare in the 20th century and has remained in ruins since.
The ruins show how people in this region built their homes and lived together. You can sense how the castle once connected the village to the river.
The ruin sits along Stokterweg in Broekhuizen and is reachable on foot. Parking and bus stops are available in the nearby village center for visitors.
The stones of the ruin tell of medieval builders who used advanced techniques for their time. Today visitors can see how stone was carefully laid to endure for centuries.
