Schaloen Castle, Medieval castle in Oud-Valkenburg, Netherlands.
The rectangular castle rises four stories high with a gable roof, constructed from regional marl stone and encircled by a water-filled moat.
First documented in 1375, the castle suffered destruction by Spanish troops in 1575 before Johan Reinier Hoen van Cartiels rebuilt it in 1650.
Dutch architect Pierre Cuypers, known for designing the Rijksmuseum, transformed the castle into its current neo-Gothic style in 1894.
The castle complex includes hotel accommodations in the former tithe barn, while the main building remains a private residence.
The castle grounds feature a regional heritage garden maintained by local nature conservation groups, displaying indigenous plants from South Limburg.
