The driveway to Terborgh Castle leads visitors along a stately path into the Geleenbeek Valley. Flanked by tall trees and bordered by greenery, the avenue emphasizes the historic allure of the castle that has dominated the valley since the Middle Ages. As the cobblestones or gravel crunch underfoot or underfoot, the silhouette of the castle and its outbuildings unfolds at the end of the avenue. The driveway not only provides access to the castle but also an atmospheric transition from the village and countryside to the tranquil world around Terborgh.

Text board: In het TROOR van de BOKKERIJDERS Terborgh Castle Terborgh Castle, probably one of the oldest castle grounds in the province of Limburg, formed one of the new centres of power in the region from the Eleventh Century onwards. The lordship of Schingen had the high jurisdiction and therefore handled criminal cases itself. The court of aldermen was located in the castle, where a large number of gang members were interrogated, tortured and sentenced. The castle dungeons, where the accomplices of the Gangs of the Bokkerijders were locked up, are still located to the right under the entrance gate. Due to a lack of sufficient prison space, Joannes Catsbergh jr., alias Henske va Nagelbeck, was locked up in the great hall of the castle. Despite the heavy block on his body, he managed to move to the adjacent chapel and walked on ecclesiastical immunity, hoping to escape death in this way. However, this immunity was not granted to him. On January 28, 1751, Geerlingh Daniëls from Wolfhagen died here in the castle dungeon, regarded by the judiciary as one of the leaders of the gangs during the first and second periods.

The Rococo castle was built in the 14th century and surrounded by a moat and gardens. The entrance area was rebuilt in 1670. The moated castle has an eventful history and numerous changes of ownership, including the Aachen aldermen family von Wylre from 1568 to 1738, whose first owner, Simon von Wylre, son of the Aachen mayor Wilhelm von Wylre, had been enfeoffed with the estate since 1552. At the beginning of the 19th century, ownership passed by inheritance from the von der Heyden family called Belderbusch to the Boeselager family. In 1841, Terworm came into the possession of the de Loë-Mheer family, who had the castle extensively rebuilt in 1890/91. The castle was badly damaged in the Second World War. The estate has been completely restored and is now a hotel with a restaurant.

Terworm Castle, beautifully situated in the valley of the Geleenbeek, was built around 1400. Two families owned the castle. The Van Gitsbach family, called Van der Worm, and the Cortenbach family. Today Terworm Castle is an exclusive castle hotel with luxurious rooms and palatial suites, five intimate restaurant salons, a historic Rococo garden and a bathhouse.

The palace complex consists of two outer baileys, a manor house and a large garden area, which is surrounded by a long, rectangular moat and is located on four islands. The entire building stock dates from the 15th to the 19th century and is surrounded by long avenues of chestnut trees.
