Rooi Castle is a castle in Neerrepen in the Belgian municipality of Tongeren in the province of Limburg. The castle is located on Rooierweg. The castle is located just outside the hamlet of Mulken in the Neerrepen area.
Rooi Castle is a castle farmstead and consists of a U-shaped main building surrounded by a pond and a square farmstead.
Building
The main building consists of two parts. The northwest wing consists of a whitewashed brick building under a slate-covered gable roof. The origins of this building date back to the 14th century. The southwest facade dates from the 16th century and tapers upwards in steps. The northwest facade of this building was modified during the 17th century. The year anchors date the last changes to 1698.
At the same time, an L-shaped wing was added to this wing, giving the U-shaped main building its current shape. This wing also consists of a whitewashed brick building. The southwestern part of this wing is covered with a gable roof and the southeastern part with a gable roof. Old anchors in the facade date the last changes to this wing to 1714.
The square farmhouse dates from the mid-17th century. Only the entrance gate and a cross barn date from this time. Above the entrance gate are the carved coats of arms of the Van Wezeren and Hamal families. The stable complex dates back to the 20th century and is still in use.
