Sint-Nicolaaskerk Broekhuizen

Highlight • Religious Site

Around 1484 the parish was separated from the neighboring Broekhuizenvorst. This church was probably built in the same year. It is also possible that the building is from an earlier date, because in 1437 a bell was cast in front of the church in Venlo. In 1700 an enlarged sacristy was added. In 1862 the interior was badly damaged in a fire. The restoration did not take place until 1884, carried out by Jules Kayser. A turret was added to the building during this restoration. In the autumn of 1944 the church was badly damaged. The retreating Germans blew up the church on November 25, 1944. Almost the entire inventory was lost. After the war, the architect A. Swinkels was asked to create a new design for the church. It was decided to rebuild the church as much as possible in its original condition. Monumentenzorg was involved in the reconstruction as the old building had been designated as a monument since 1884.

Huys ter Horst Castle

Highlight • Castle

Kasteel Huys ter Horst has a rich history that dates back to the 13th century. Starting as a (flight) castle with a donjon (residential tower), it has developed over time into a mature H-shaped castle with an outer bailey, Hof ter Binnen, tithe barn and moats all around. From a military structure, the castle, the building later developed into an idyllic residential castle for the wealthy nobility. Due to a lack of money, the then owner sold the castle as building material, stone by stone, in the first half of the 19th century. The ruin that remained became the property of the municipality of Horst aan de Maas after the Second World War. At the end of the 20th century, volunteers, united in the Stichting Kasteel Huys ter Horst, started rebuilding parts of the castle according to historical paintings.
