KASTEELRUÏNE - CHÂTEAU DE FAUQUEMONT

Valkenburg Castle was originally built in the ^12th century. Erected strategically on a hill, it served as a defensive fortress through the ages, until its destruction in 1672 by Dutch troops, who did not want it to fall into French hands. Today, the ruins of Valkenburg Castle bear witness to its former grandeur. It's a pleasure to stroll through the rooms and admire the panoramic view over the town.
