The castle has a history of destruction, rebuilds and alterations (relatively recently in the 20th century).

Source Wikepedia (where you can read much more about this castle): Castle Boxmeer is originally a 13th-century castle in the town of Boxmeer, in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located on a former island on the Maas. On the driveway is the Nepomuk Chapel, opposite the Protestant church.

Boxmeer Castle originally dates from the 13th century. The castle was destroyed by Count Floris V of the Netherlands in 1284/85. It was rebuilt, but demolished again in 1365. During the 80 Years' War the castle was again besieged. The building also had to endure a lot in the centuries that followed. Nowadays it houses a residential care center, under the watchful eye of Julie Postel's sisters. The castle also houses members of other monastic communities.
