The story

Story · Gebroken Slot

  • nl

You're standing by the Gebroken Slot, the Broken Castle, on the road from Blerick to Grubbenvorst. The name says it all: this castle has been a ruin for centuries. What you see is a mound with just a few chunks of masonry on top. Yet there was once a sizeable fortress here, and we know fairly well what it looked like.
