Wurfeld Castle

The building was founded around 1640 by the brothers Willem and Jacob Croll, who were canons at the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekapittel in Maaseik. They founded the St. Lawrence Chapel and built a two-story moat on top of a vaulted cellar. This became the core of the current castle. Castle and chapel were not expropriated during the French period and remained the property of the parish of Maaseik. In 1840 the castle was sold to a private individual, and in 1900 it was expanded by the then lord of the castle, Ludovic Nagels. In 1913 and 1938 further expansions in eclectic style followed, by the residents Stéphanie Nagels and Adelin de Fraipont. The castle was called Sans Souci. In the tower there is another plaque with the coat of arms of the Croll family, from the old St. Lawrence Chapel. In one of the rooms there is also a fireplace from the original residence, with the inscription: Rara est concordia fratuum
