Haus Raeren is roughly built, austere and small. It is undoubtedly one of the most special examples of fortified castles in the then Duchy of Limbourg. Despite the changes made to the roof and window recesses, Haus Raeren has retained all the characteristics of a moated castle.

Haus Raeren is surrounded by a moat and was built in the 14th century. In 1917 it was bought by Jean Blank, father of the painter André Blank, whose family still owns the property today.
