Limburg Castle (this was the customary spelling until the end of the 18th century) was the seat of the counts and later dukes of Limburg from around 1020. After the death of the last duke in 1280 and his heir daughter in 1283, the Limburg succession dispute broke out, which culminated in the battle of Worringen. The dukes of Brabant, the winners of this battle, have since held the title of Duke of Limburg.

The chapel was built between 1560 and 1566, and it has stood in its current form since 1774. It has been destroyed several times in the intervening years, and one of its portals bears the inscription: "Rebuilt by the people of Limburg in the year 1774".
