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.

The Genneperhuis was a castle and fortified fortress on the Niers estuary in the Meuse near the town of Gennep near Milsbeek. Until 2009 there were hardly any ruins, only the crown work and elevations in the landscape still give an impression of the size. The area has the status of a protected monument.

Nice environment, great place for a stop/break.
