    The Borgitter Castle, popularly known as the "White Castle".
    Borgitter ("castle along the Itterbeek") was a hamlet that is now part of Neeritter itself.
    The castle was first mentioned in 1546, but the oldest part, a square corner tower, dates back to 1510. The current rectangular building was probably only built in the second half of the 18th century.
    The "bronze-green oak" about which Gerard Krekelberg, the poet of the Limburg national anthem, wrote poems, were the (now disappeared) oak trees around the Borgitter castle.
    In front of the castle you will find benches and decorations with lyrics and notes from the national anthem.
