Schaesberg (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsxaːzbɛr(ə)x]; Limburgish: D'r Sjeet [dəʀ ˈʃeːt]) is a neighbourhood of Landgraaf and former village in the Dutch province of Limburg.
Strijthagen Castle was built in 1530, but probably had a 13th century predecessor.
Schaesberg castle was abandoned in 1733, and only ruins remain.
The railway station was renamed Landgraaf in 1986, and the line to Simpelveld closed in 1988.
[6][7] In 1905, mine workers colonies were built in Schaesberg, and the village started to grow.
