About Valkenburg aan de Geul
Siege and conquest were characteristic of the history of Valkenburg, and the town's centre holds plenty of evidence of former grandeur. The castle in the middle of the city - of which now only a ruin remains - was destroyed in December 1672. Only two city gates (the Berkelpoort and the Grendelpoort) and a part of the city walls survived destruction and both have been thoroughly restored. In 1853 a railway station was built on a line connecting the two cities ofMaastrichtandAachen, making it possible to discover the charming little town of Valkenburg.
