Tongelaar Castle is a medieval castle complex that, in its current form, incorporates elements from various periods. The castle stands on a strategic elevation and is surrounded by water features and old farmstead structures that are part of the historic estate. It was first mentioned in the 14th century and has been renovated and fortified several times since then. The buildings, courtyard, and moats clearly reflect its former fortified function and later agricultural role within the estate. Today, the castle serves as a visitor center and restaurant, with views of the surrounding lanes and fields.

The path that takes you to the ruins of the Genneperhuis and through the nature reserve towards bridges, ravelin and Het Theehuisje in Milsbeek is partly provided with pollard willows on both sides. But be sure to read the many information boards that are also on the road over a longer distance and tell you a lot about what is here, has been and especially has happened.

Boxmeer Castle originally dates from the 13th century. The castle was destroyed by Count Floris V of the Netherlands in 1284/85. It was rebuilt, but demolished again in 1365. During the 80 Years' War the castle was again besieged. The building also had to endure a lot in the centuries that followed. Nowadays it houses a residential care center, under the watchful eye of Julie Postel's sisters. The castle also houses members of other monastic communities.

Boxmeer has a number of unique sights, including the Karmelklooster. The Carmelite Monastery in Boxmeer was built between 1653 and 1709. The monastery was founded by Albrecht van den Bergh and Madeleine de Cusance, lord and lady of Boxmeer. The former had to do with both the Catholic Spanish Southern Netherlands and the Protestant Republic of the United Netherlands. To strengthen his own sovereignty over Boxmeer in this tightrope walk between the two powers, he built the monastery.

Boxmeer has a number of sights that are more than worth a visit. In the center of Boxmeer you will find more about the rich history of silversmiths and the special traditional canal as well as beautiful monumental buildings. Just outside the shopping center you will find a unique castle with a museum and chapel and a special lock complex. Boxmeer borders a number of impressive nature reserves, including the UNESCO-winning Maasheggen. Source:centrumboxmeer.nl

Jan Jacob Luden acquires land in Mookerheide from 1900 onwards. In the years 1902-1905 Luden builds the hunting lodge named after the place. It was designed by architects Oscar and Henri Leeuw Jr. from Nijmegen. No effort or expense is spared and a very richly and lavishly furnished Art Nouveau house is created with all modern amenities, with a large decorated tower room and an unparalleled view. The house with the tower is already on the highest point and at this time there is still heathland with limited or young afforestation. Under Luden's administrator D.G. Montenberg, a landscape design in the classic landscape style will be realized on the surrounding area. In 1910 Mookerheide was taken over by Antonie Marinus Vroeg. He expanded and beautified the property. In 1947 it was sold to the Sisters of Saint Dominic of Bethany. The main house has been thoroughly renovated and used as a monastery, while several new buildings were constructed on the property to accommodate a boarding school for children. For 30 years the main building was a hotel restaurant. Now the hunting lodge and estate are in the hands of Natuurmonumenten and are being thoroughly restored.
