Eijsden Castle

The castle is made up out of two angled wings with at the outside corner a heavy cornertower flanked by a small stair tower.

On top of this gate is placed the year of completion and the arms of the De Lamargelle and von Bocholtz families.

It was designed by French garden artist Achille Duchêne (1866–1947), replacing an earlier 18th century park.

Of this original 18th century park only a small part remains on the northside of the castle, where there is also an 18th-century basement for the storage of ice.

First mention of the castle was in 1334 when "den hof tot Esde" was granted to Dyederic van Montjoy en Valkenburg by John III, Duke of Brabant.
