Stapelen Castle is over 700 years old and still contains many old elements. It is unknown when exactly the castle was built, but the oldest mention dates from 1293. The castle was the home of the Lord of Boxtel and his family. What is special is that Prince William of Orange and also the French Sun King Louis XIV spent the night there several times. In 1915, the castle was sold to the Assumptionist Fathers. They were mainly active in education, healthcare and assistance and in the mission. Since 2018, the castle has been in private hands again.
The southern part of the castle in particular contains many old elements. For example, the knight's hall still has the original fourteenth-century roof and a barrel vault. The octagonal tower on the east side was built in the Middle Ages. The name of the castle probably comes from the word 'Stapel' which meant 'high place'.
