Den Halder Castle, Medieval castle in Valkenburg aan de Geul, Netherlands.
Den Halder Castle stands on the banks of the Geul River, constructed with regional marlstone and featuring architectural elements from the 15th and 17th centuries.
Originally built as a defensive tower within Valkenburg's city walls until 1329, the structure transformed into a nobleman's residence following its reconstruction in 1381.
The castle maintains its status as a Rijksmonument, representing the architectural evolution from military fortification to residential nobility quarters in the Limburg region.
Located at Kerkstraat 31 in Valkenburg, the castle currently functions as office spaces managed by the RBK Foundation, which oversees historic monument preservation.
The name Den Halder derives from 'houder', meaning holder, referring to its original purpose of holding back enemies during medieval times.
