    The Overhuizen or Oberhausen farm is a monumental farm complex in the village of Bocholtz in the south of the Dutch province of Limburg. This typical, limestone square farm in South Limburg is a former castle courtyard that belonged to a fortified country house and fiefdom. The courtyard contains the Overhuizen Chapel. The 18th-century complex is located on the eastern edge of the village, close to the German border. The entire building is a listed building.
    The first mention of the Overhuizen or Oberhausen house dates back to 1330. The house was demolished in 1870, and the canal was filled in. Today, only the farmhouse with its entrance gate and a small chapel remain. As evidenced by a coat of arms of the Rochow and Lamargelle families from 1714 above the gate, the building was rebuilt that year. Until 2009, the farm was used as a dairy farm by the Vaessen family, who had to sell it after more than a century of use because expansion of the business was not permitted at this monumental location.


    The complex underwent extensive restoration between 2009 and 2010 and was converted into a care hotel, a health resort for recovering hospital patients. Zorghotel Welloord opened its doors in September 2010 and had 72 rooms. In August 2011, the company was declared bankrupt again.

    In February 2013, Rabobank Centraal Zuid-Limburg announced the purchase of the building. On September 1, 2015, the bank officially opened a new advisory center here, consolidating the services of ten locations spread across the region.

    In mid-2019, MeanderGroep Zuid-Limburg acquired the building, and the new wing was converted into a healthcare center. The building will open as a healthcare facility on September 27, 2021. MeanderGroep will provide small residential facilities for people with dementia on the farm.
