Beusdael Castle is a medieval castle located in the village of Sippenaeken, just across the Belgian border from the Dutch province of Limburg. The castle dates back to the 13th century and features a characteristic round keep (defense tower). It has been renovated several times over the centuries, but still retains much of its historic charm. The castle is privately owned and not open to the public.

The town of Seffent is characterized by the castle of the same name and the surrounding magnificent square courtyards. Seffent was once a royal court that looks back on 1,100 years of history.

Beusdael Castle, also known as Kasteel Beusdael, is located west of the village of Sippenaeken in the province of Liège in the Belgian region of Wallonia. The first lords of Beusdael are mentioned in the 14th century. This Van Beusdaal family seems to have been influential lords as they could fief estates as they did the Dutch castles of Geusselt and Goedenraad. Through several marriages and inheritances, ownership of the château passed from the Van Beusdaal family to the Van Eys, De Colyn, De Hoensbroeck, De Méan and De Copis families until the 19th century. Then it became the property of Count Florent d'Oultremont. From 1882 he ordered extensive modifications to the castle: the construction of a chapel, a small round tower in the inner courtyard and a gate building with a new bridge. This work will be carried out by the Brussels architect Janlet. When the Count dies, the castle is sold to a Wilhelm Huyzer in 1921. He does something macabre: He has his deceased young wife embalmed and laid out in a coffin with a glass lid in a cellar under a passage next to the chapel. The coffin stayed there until 1934. The castle had several other owners until it was bought by the Antoine family in 1976.

Great walls, nice to look at.

Private castle domain (Beusdael) historically originated according to tradition in the time of Charlemagne (800 AD) when a wooden donjon was said to have been built there. Replaced later in the 12th or 13th century by a stone building with keep. Count Florent d'Oultremont had important changes made to the castle in 1882: a chapel was built, a small round tower in the courtyard, a bridge over the moats; there was also a gatehouse and various other works.
