The story

Story · Motte De Tombe

  • nl

You're standing at De Tombe, on the western slope of the Sint-Pietersberg in Maastricht, along the Van Schaikweg at the edge of the ENCI woods. It may look like just a lumpy hill, but this is a motte: a man-made castle mound from the early Middle Ages. It's about thirty metres across and eight metres high.
