South of Wijlre, where the Geul and Gulp rivers merge, lies Cartils Castle. It is idyllically situated between farmlands and forests. The name Cartils means 'belonging to a court (curtis)' and seems to indicate a great age. Over the centuries, a small hamlet formed around the castle.
The castle must have traditionally been a fortress with an outer bailey. A design that is recognizable in a drawing from 1613. In 1883 the castle was thoroughly renovated. The canal that was still present must have been filled in and the large conservatory at the front was added. The garden was also tackled and changed in landscape style.
In the 20th century, the castle became the home of the Janssen de Limpens family and today it still has a residential function. The castle is therefore not open to the public. The garden was restored to its original state in the 1980s.
