Kasteel Puth

Description

Kasteel Puth, located near Voerendaal in South Limburg, Netherlands, is a historic castle and estate recognized as a national monument. The current structure dates back to the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, with some cellars possibly older. The castle was first mentioned in 14th-century documents and has been owned by various noble families, including Van Putt, Van den Bongard, Leeck, Tzievel, and Dobbelsteyn. In 1728, it was acquired by the de Hayme de Bomal brothers, canons of the Chapter of Saint Servatius in Maastricht, who likely renovated the main building. Later, it passed to the De Marchant et d'Ansembourg family. In 1872, through marriage, the castle became part of the Zu Stolberg-Stolberg family estate. Architecturally, the main building features a rectangular design in the Liège-Aachen Baroque style, with an 18th-century brick façade and mansard roof. The surrounding estate includes U-shaped outbuildings around a courtyard, a 17th or 18th-century brick arch bridge over a moat, and a 17th-century western barn with notable interior arches.
