Jansgeleen Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Spaubeek, Netherlands.
The castle complex includes remaining structures of a water mill, a forecourt from the 16th century, and a brewery building dating from 1665.
Built around 1300 as House Spaubeek near the Geleen river, the castle became the first seat of the County of Geleen during the 16th century.
The name evolved from Heer Jansgelene, after Lord Jan Rode van Opsinnich, to Sint Jansgeleen through a misinterpretation connecting it to Saint John the Baptist.
The remaining structures of Jansgeleen Castle are located at Sint Jansgeleen 2 in Spaubeek, within the municipality of Beek in Limburg province.
Mining activities from the nearby Maurits mine in the 1920s caused substantial damage to the castle, leading to its demolition in the 1930s.
