Kasteel Horn is one of the oldest still intact medieval wall castles in the Netherlands. The castle is built on a natural boost nearby an old meander of the river Maas. It was built in the 13th century and the castle consists of a square gatehouse, a south wing and two semicircular towers connected by a ring wall. Probably in the 15th century a lot of rebuilding took place at Kasteel Horn . The living quarters were extended, which caused the two southern towers to disappear. Also the gate tower was added to the living quarters and a new gate - the present gate - was build next to it. In 1798, the castle was sold to Marcel-Gérard Magnée from Liège. The Magnée family still owns the Kasteel Horn . In 1954 the castle underwent a restoration after it was damaged by fire in 1948. The castle - privately owned – is not accessible. The park however is always open for visitors.
