is the ruin of a castle from around 1300, also known as Naborch, Huys te Swalmen or Aldenborg, which is located in Swalmen am Swalm. Ouborg is one of the oldest castle ruins in the Netherlands, a little younger than that of Huis te Merwede, but the remains are more extensive here. The Ouborg was probably destroyed by fire in the 15th century.

The castle was a rectangular building measuring 25 by 17 meters with the octagonal keep or tower keep at the southern corner. On top of this residential tower there was an L-shaped residential wing in a small courtyard. The walls of the castle were 1.50 meters thick and made of brick. In 1916 many of the castle's stones appear to have been used in the restoration of the nearby St. Dionysius Church in Allefelt. A photo from around 1900 shows that the walls were significantly higher then.
