    In fact, Bocholt Castle cannot be visited and the access road is private.

      In 1096 a "Burg Bocholtz" was first mentioned in a document; In 1242 the name "Gerald de Bocholt" appears for the first time, with which the Bocholt noble family (also known as Bucholtz) began and worked for centuries across Europe. The castle served in the Geldrischen fiefdom as the ancestral seat of the Bocholter and the protection of the old Roman road ("Heerstraße").
      In 1358 the castle was expanded into a fortress for a more effective defense and in 1450 an outer bailey with a courtyard was built.
