Bommershoven Castle is a building in Bommershoven, located at 59 Alfonsstraat, next to St. Alfonskerk.

This castle, actually a mansion, was built from 1759-1761 by Marcel-Gérard Magnée from Liège, who would buy the Castle Horn in 1798. Originally it consisted of three separate wings, namely an L-shaped mansion and two service buildings. One of these was demolished in the early 19th century. The other was extensively renovated in the second half of the 19th century. A farm near the park was demolished and the site was added to the park, which at the same time was laid out in its current form and partly in a formal style, partly in an English landscape style.

The mansion, is an L-shaped brick building, painted red and with a preserved Rococo-style interior. There are still tiled fireplaces, a stucco fireplace and a painting by Mr Magnée in the dining room. There is also an octagonal drawing room with murals by Italian artists. In addition, the house contains a library.

The current service buildings, forming a U-shaped complex attached to the mansion, date from the 2nd half of the 19th century, but the wing on the street side, with gate, may have been a transverse barn with a core from the 18th century.
