Terworm Castle
The Kasteel Terworm ( German Schloss Terworm ) is a moated castle in the municipality of Heerlen in the Dutch province of Limburg .
history
The Rococo castle was built in the 14th century and surrounded by a moat and gardens. The entrance area was newly built in 1670. The moated castle has a checkered history and numerous changes of ownership, including the von Wylre family from 1568 to 1738 , whose first owner, Simon von Wylre, son of Aachen's mayor Wilhelm von Wylre , had been enfeoffed with the estate since 1552. At the beginning of the 19th century, ownership changed from the von der Heyden family called Belderbusch to the Boeselager family . In 1841 Terworm came to the de Loë -Mheer family, who had the castle extensively rebuilt in 1890/91. The castle was badly damaged in the Second World War .
The estate has been fully restored and is now a hotel and restaurant
