An incredible place with a magical atmosphere❣️ You can see that the gardener cares for the garden with great love! We happened to drive past this castle, it was getting dark and it felt a bit strange to enter, like we were invading privacy, but the place was so tempting that we went in and walked for a bit. Nobody noticed us or made a comment. I would like to discover such special, magical places more often. Thank you very much?

A family that lives in the castle wants to prevent over 120 urgently needed apartments from being built? One would think we still live in the aristocracy, where some people are more important than others. Until it is certain that the castle will be destroyed by the planned project (there are recognized, independent reports for the destruction), this should be examined with an open mind. This is not how good cooperation works if apartments, wind farms, etc. are urgently needed everywhere, but no one wants to have it on site. A pity...

Very nice little castle with a nice garden.
Always worth a detour.

Until about 6 months ago I didn't really know that Berkum had a great moated castle. You drive past it in your car, but you don't necessarily notice it because of the great - freely accessible - lush gardens; Visitors welcome; When the gate is open, go in, look, nice.
Today, January 22, 23, we took part in the tour with a glass of champagne. We were pleasantly surprised. Completely down-to-earth and pleasant castle owners. There was enough information from both the lord and mistress of the house. ???. Was fun. The downside: The future (not just threatened) expansion (100 residential units?!, or more?!) could put an end to the moated castle; the underground inflow is suspected. cut off by development; Castle can collapse. Then there will be no one in the town hall. ?. Monument protection/consideration apparently without any interest on the part of the authorities. ?. The Vieten family, we wish you a lot of strength and perseverance against the construction madness. ???. LG, ?

Complete disaster. Populist opinion makers from Düsseldorf who are just craving publicity. Anyone who takes the nonsense seriously, especially in the press and in the mailboxes around the castle, can no longer be helped. Cheapest Trump level. Hopefully the citizens and media representatives wake up and don't let themselves be fooled by such circus clowns in the castle. We have just come through the Ahr flood disaster and people urgently need affordable living space nearby. The planned residential area in Berkum is ideal for this. A social attitude would be the order of the day here; but rich lords of the castle who don't want neighbors?!? No go! Just don't fall for their false information, petitions, would-be events and direct mail!
