Review:
The Lichtenberg Castle ruins are the remnants of one of the oldest castles in the Netherlands.
Constructed in the early 1200s during the Medieval period, the castle was built in a strategic position on the flank of the Sint-Pietersberg overlooking the Maas. The castle began to fall into disrepair halfway through the 18th century, and a farm was built on the site, but the ruins of the castle’s defensible residential tower are still visible today. You can spend the night at the Lichtenberg Farm and explore the ruins, and the limestone wall below the castle ruins that has been classified as a Geological monument.
