Meerssenhoven Castle, Château in Meerssenhoven, Netherlands.
The main building of Meerssenhoven Castle features a U-shaped mansion surrounded by a moat and connected by a stone arch bridge.
The medieval castle, first mentioned in 1345 as property of Knight Hendrik van Itteren, burned down in 1632 during the Siege of Maastricht.
Arnold van Gilman commissioned the construction of the current pleasure palace in 1742, incorporating architectural elements from the 13th and 14th centuries.
The castle remains a private property, restricting public access to the interior while allowing exterior views from surrounding pathways.
The estate includes an Indian Chhatri temple-style pavilion near the Geul River, adding an unexpected architectural element to this Dutch castle.
