The story

Story · Kasteel De Bongard

  • en
  • nl

You're standing at De Bongard castle, in the valley of the Bocholtzerbeek stream, just north-west of the village of Bocholtz. Look at the walls. Red brick, with bands of white marlstone running all the way up. That striped look is typical of the Meuse Renaissance, the local building style of this region.
