The history of Valkenburg goes back to the Middle Ages. The Lordship (since 1357 County) of Valkenburg had its origins in Old Valkenburg at Genhoes Castle. For strategic reasons, the lords moved their seat to the Heunsberg, where the castle was built around 1075, today the ruins of Valkenburg.

Valkenburg is colourful, cosy, welcoming. A break in one of the many cafés and a stroll through the pedestrian zone is highly recommended.
