De Burght, Medieval château in Heer, Netherlands
De Burght features thick walls measuring 2.3 meters, constructed from coal sandstone and Limburg marlstone, surrounded by a wide moat and stone bridge.
The initial structure dates back to the 11th century, with first mentions in 1070 referring to a 'house in Here' owned by the knights of Heer.
The castle served as residence for canons of Saint Servatius chapter and later functioned as a prison controlled by authorities from Liege.
The castle compound includes an 18th-century building that served as a carriage house, indicated by a stone marker in the facade.
In 2018, De Burght became the first wine castle in the Netherlands after Michel Maes planted a vineyard following the castle restoration.
