Valkenburg - Castle Rock
(Local Name: Dwingelrots) On the south side of Valkenburg rises the Dwingelrots (Castle Rock), which is crowned by the ruined castle of the lords of Valkenburg. The castle was founded in the 12th century; the tower and the fortified communicating passages, some of them hewn from the rock, are later. After several sieges, and several rebuildings, the ruined castle was abandoned in 1672. There was a secret passage from the castle to the caves hewn from the rock below.
