Schaloen Castle is idyllically situated on the banks of the Geul River, surrounded by ancient trees and a moat that reflects the river. The current castle dates from the 17th century, but its origins date back to the Middle Ages. The white walls, the turret, and the bridge over the water give it a fairytale-like feel. It's a short walk from the nearby village of Oud-Valkenburg—a quiet path along the Geul leads straight into this picturesque corner of Limburg.
