Description
PLEASE NOTE: REGISTRATION FOR THIS SALE PROCEDURE CLOSED ON 1 SEPTEMBER 2026.
(Only if the municipality decides not to award the property to any of the participating candidates will this be announced, at which point an opportunity may arise for other interested parties to participate in the sale procedure.)
Schaesberg Castle lies secluded in the rolling countryside of Landgraaf, surrounded by greenery and mature trees.
We offer you the unique opportunity to redevelop this exceptional site of more than 5.5 hectares into a vibrant and accessible heritage destination where history and contemporary use come together.
Set among the trees in a hilly stream valley in Landgraaf, South Limburg, are the ruins of Schaesberg Castle, a 16th-century castle, together with the remains and outlines of its associated 17th-century farmstead.
The Renaissance castle, once one of the most important aristocratic residences in South Limburg, enjoyed its heyday during the 17th and 18th centuries. It subsequently fell into decline. Since 2012, the castle has been gradually reconstructed using traditional building techniques and craftsmanship.
The Schaesberg Castle estate is now being offered for sale. In addition to the castle ruins, the property includes a visitor centre with catering and meeting facilities.
The parkland behind the castle, including the traditional forge, woodworking workshop and various other outbuildings and structures, will also be transferred to the new owner.
Several animals are currently kept on the estate. The municipality is happy to make further arrangements with the new owner regarding the possible transfer and continued care of these animals.
The distinctive gatehouse is currently being completely reconstructed and will remain in the ownership of the municipality. The same applies to a transformer building and the nearby facilities building, which is situated outside the site being offered for sale.
The municipality wishes to see the site further developed into a vibrant and accessible destination that preserves and enhances the cultural-historical significance and unique character of this exceptional place.
On behalf of the Municipality of Landgraaf, we are therefore conducting a voluntary public sale by tender, in which any interested party was entitled to participate. The following timetable applies to the sale procedure:
Phase 1: COMPLETED
