Kasteelruïne Born

Kasteelpark 38
Born
Already in the year 1150 there is mention of a castle in Born, near the location of the current ruin. At the beginning of the 17th century the castle fell into disrepair, after which the De Leerodt family started building a new castle in 1662. Unfortunately, the building, which was then occupied by the Barbou van Roosteren family, was destroyed by a fatal fire in 1930. A beautiful animal park has been built in the gardens surrounding the ruins, where visitors can admire many animal species.

Castle ruin Born is one of the wonder locations on the Route full of Wonder. During this cycling route through the Grensmaasvallei, more than 30 locations can be visited digitally when they are not open to the public. Curious about the stories or take a look inside? View the 360-degree tour .
