Haeren Castle is one of the five castles in the municipality of Voerendaal. The current castle is built on the foundations of a castle from the thirteenth century. The first inhabitants had family ties with the family that owned Borgharen Castle near Maastricht.
To distinguish themselves, they used the designation 'Haeren'. A daughter of the family married someone from the Hoe tse Broek family, later the Hoensbroek family, so it came into the possession of that family.
In 1720, the Aachen textile baron Von Clermont, who is fond of castles and country houses, bought the castle. In 1742 the castle unfortunately burns down. However, this is not a problem for the wealthy owner, he immediately has the castle rebuilt in the Rocco style, which is modern at the time. The plastered ceilings and beautiful mantelpieces date from that time.
The name of the influential Maastricht family Panhuysen also adorns the list of later lords of the castle. Today the castle has a number of owners, who are each allowed to inhabit a part of this paradise spot.
