Tips

April 7, 2025

Basement and moated main building in Maasland Renaissance style, consisting of a rectangular west and south wing, which enclose a square, partly paved castle square in a hook shape. The castle is built in red brick interrupted by marlstone bands and rests with the castle square on a substructure of brick and bluestone blocks.

As such, the castle was built or completed in 1636, five years after the marriage of Arnold de la Margelle to Margaretha Anna Francisca van Bocholtz. This event is commemorated by a facade stone above the gate on the south side of the south facade, where the front of the castle is located. In archive documents from 1633 present at the castle, there is mention of an architect Servais Charles, who may have been the builder of the castle. Traces of construction in the foundation in the form of a fire layer approx. 2.75 meters below the castle square give rise to the suspicion that the castle was built on the site of an older building.
