Gemert Castle is one of the village's most striking historical buildings. The complex dates back to the 13th century and was owned for centuries by the Teutonic Order, which had its commandery here. Because of this long history, you'll find a mix of architectural styles on the grounds: medieval elements, an impressive gateway, later residential wings, and a moat that encircles the entire complex. The castle itself is not freely accessible, but from the road and surrounding paths, you have a beautiful view of the walls, towers, and gatehouse. The surrounding area is charming, with old tree-lined avenues, water features, and historic outbuildings that complete the setting. It's a pleasant place for walkers to stop and take a photo or soak up the tranquil atmosphere around the moat.

This chapel was built in 2003 by the carnival association from Everse. They didn't have their own chapel yet. Every year during carnival, there's a performance. The chapel is very popular, and candles can be lit there.

Don't drive too close to the edge. Steep Dommel bank, but very beautiful.

The castle is currently being renovated. A 5-star Hilton hotel is being built. There will be apartments for sale (starting at €1 million). The restaurant GEM, featuring Michelin-starred chef Soenil Bahadoer, recently opened. Everything is expected to be completed by the end of next year.

Beautiful paths through the forest

A well-known spot between Stiphout and Aarle-Ristel Castle is quite free so not surrounded by high walls or hedges. This gives you the chance to also take beautiful pictures of this castle.

Beautiful castle, also accessible via a driveway. Beautiful nature around for a walk.

For the experienced MTB'er 😅
