Sights

Kasteel Montfort

6065 AX Roerdalen
https://vvvmiddenlimburg.nl/nl/locatie/kasteel-montfort

The Montfort castle is currently partly ruin and partly a visitor center. It was built around 1260 by Hendrik van Gelre on a ridge in the watery Vlootbeekdal. Thanks to its location, the polygonal ground plan and thick natural stone walls, this most southern stronghold of the Duchy of Gelre was practically impregnable. During the Disaster Year of 1672, the French troops of King Louis XIV managed to blow up the castle. Parts of the castle were then inhabited until the twentieth century.

Kasteel Zuidewijk

6071 NC Roermond
http://www.kasteleninnederland.nl

Zuidewijk Spick is a monumental castle farm located in rustic Boukoul. It consists of a high mansion under a hipped roof (gray tiles) and, together with the adjoining farm, attached chapel and service buildings, forms a rectangular complex with a courtyard. This whole is enclosed by a moat. The name Spieck or Spick is derived from the word 'spieker', which means 'grain shed'. In the past, the harvest was usually stored in a spieker to protect the field fruits from people who went on a raid.

Kasteel Hillenraad

12
6071 NH Roermond

One of the most beautiful castles in central Limburg is Castle Hillenraad. A castle, surrounded by moats and a fortress to the outer castle, which is still partially moated. The outer bailey is built on three sides; there is a private chapel in one of the three wings. The outer bailey has a gatehouse, which must be approached over a bridge. The main building has four square towers covered with a kind of helmet crown, which give the castle a charming appearance, which is more reminiscent of a country house than a resilient castle, although it still has that shape.
