Nijswiller (Limburgish: Nieswieler) is a village in the southern part of the Dutch province of Limburg.

[5] In 1288, the Peace of Nijswiller was signed between John I of Brabant and Reginald I of Guelders after the Battle of Worringen which was the concluding part of the War of the Limburg Succession.

[6] In 1648, Nijswiller was a free heerlijkheid which did not belong to Duchy of Jülich, the Austrian Netherlands or the Dutch Republic.

[5] There is a two metre thick irregular wall in the oldest part of the castle which is probably a remnant of the original tower.

In 1678, the van Schaesberg [nl] family were forced to sell the castle, and the building started to deteriorate.
