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.
