Montfort Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Roerdalen, Netherlands

The castle features two corner towers and multiple large basement rooms set within restored fortifications dating from the thirteenth century.

Prince-bishop Hendrik van Gelre built the castle in 1260, which later became part of Gelre county and gained importance under Duke Reinoud II.

The castle garden exhibits classicist design principles from its 2017 renovation, incorporating regional landscaping elements within the historical setting.

Visitors can explore eastern cellars, enter the prison church in the White Tower, and access parking facilities at Huysdijk 4.

The castle contained a distinctive beak-tower called Grauwert with walls measuring 3.5 meters thick, designed to deflect incoming projectiles.
