The story

Audio tour · Kasteel Valkenburg

You're standing at the ruins of Valkenburg Castle, high on the Heunsberg hill above the town. That's what makes this castle special. It's a hilltop castle, and in the flat Netherlands that's a rarity. Take a good look at the walls around you. The changes in colour and material show how often people built, and rebuilt, here over the centuries.
