암트 몽포르‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 동굴

힐렌라트 성은 17세기 또는 18세기 건물처럼 보이지만, 그 핵심은 더 오래되었습니다. 이 성은 1380년 문서에 처음 언급되었으며 당시에는 귀족 디르크 반 오스트의 소유였습니다. 그는 마스트리흐트 근처의 오스트 성에서 왔으며 스발멘 영주들과 어떤 식으로든 관련이 있었습니다. 그는 1379년부터 스발멘에서 언급되었으며, 얼마 지나지 않아 스발멘 영주들의 본거지였던 현재 오우보르크로 알려진 곳도 매입했습니다. 그 이후로 힐렌라트는 항상 가문에 속해 있었습니다. 물론, 여성 상속으로 인해 가문의 이름이 바뀌는 경우도 있었습니다. 원래 건물 뒤쪽에는 둥근 탑이 있었습니다. 이 탑은 17세기에 큰 홀을 증축하기 위해 철거되었습니다. 나중에 양쪽에 두 개의 별관이 추가되었고, 마침내 18세기에 모서리에 네 개의 탑이 세워졌습니다. 프랑스 시대 이후, 성은 더 이상 가족이 거주하지 않아 상당히 황폐해졌습니다. 1909년 헤르만 볼프 메테르니히 백작(1887-1956)이 힐렌라트를 상속받았을 때, 그는 대대적인 복원을 시작했습니다. 그는 성을 파멸에서 구했습니다. 출처 및 추가 정보: https://www.archiefroermond.nl/nl/roermonds-verleden/verhalen/een-andere-geschiedenis/prachtige-plekjes/kasteel-hillenraad 성 근처에 정보 표지판이 있으며 외부에서도 어느 정도 볼 수 있습니다. 숲의 위엄 있는 길들도 성과 연결되어 있으며 그곳에서도 발견할 것이 있습니다. 힐렌라더 숲에 대한 자세한 내용은 https://www.komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/7695125 참조

Medieval town with ramparts and keep

Wassenberg was first mentioned in a document in the “Klosterrather Annals” (Annales Rodenses). Klosterrath is today's Rolduc near Herzogenrath. In 1020, Emperor Henry II (1002 - 1024) gave the Flemish nobleman Gerhard von Antoing rich land holdings in Wassenberg in return for services rendered. After the expansion of the motte (original castle), his descendants called themselves “Count of Wassenberg”. Count Gerhard III of Wassenberg and Geldern is also considered the founder of the Wassenberg St. George's Abbey and the builder of the St. George's Provost Church. The founding document from September 30, 1118 is still preserved in an older copy. The abbey and church helped determine the fate of the town for centuries.

City with keep

During the Eighty Years' War, the original village of Stevensweert was expanded into a fortified town by the Spanish in 1633. An earthen wall with seven bastions and five ravelins was built. Part of Stevensweert is under town protection. The fortifications can still be seen in the city's unique street pattern. Be sure to take a look at the Stevensweert-Ohé en laak regional museum. In 2007, the reconstruction of a small part of the fortifications began based on historical maps of a bastion, a rave line and the associated north side of Stevensweert.

Today's Stevensweert arose in the early Middle Ages on an island in the Meuse, with the eastern branch being the Old Meuse. This domain initially belonged to the County of Loon and since 1243 to the Oberg. From 1253 it belonged to the Ambt Montfort. In 1543 Obergelre came to the Habsburg Monarchy and thus became Spanish Obergelr. The late Gothic sculptor Jan van Steffeswert was probably born here at the end of the 15th century. The original village was converted into a fortress town in 1633 by the Spanish general Francisco de Moncada. An earthen wall with seven bastions and five rave lines was built around the place. In 1702, Stevensweert was besieged by the states, causing severe damage to the castle and the fortress becoming state property. From 1716 Stevensweert finally came into state hands and belonged to Staatsober-Gelre. Stevensweert has retained its heptagonal perimeter and geometric street pattern to this day. The original fortification wall was destroyed in 1874. In 1882 the island bridge was built over the Oude Maas, connecting the island to the mainland. In 1922 the Roermond - Sittard tram line was completed and Stevensweert received a tram stop. Five trams ran in both directions every day and a journey to Roermond station took 24 minutes. In 1937 the tram line was broken up and bus services took over passenger transport. With the construction of the Juliana Canal (1925-1934), Stevensweert was again on an elongated island, which was only connected to the shore by a few bridges and therefore always still had a more or less isolated situation. After the Second World War, gravel extraction was added, which created a number of puddles. In 2007, the reconstruction of a small part of the fortifications began based on historical maps of a bastion, a rave line and the associated north side of Stevensweert.

Great building on a very nice market square 👍
