In 1574 chatelain Dirk Vijgh let put the bldg. in fire to that prevent it would fall Spanish hands. The current form got the castle after a serious renovation in 1643. Thereby one chose for a classicistische construction style. Castle Soelen has been always inhabited. In 1975, its castle and coach house Subdivided in apartments.

I really like the way the castle is centered, and the story is interesting. The colors give it an antique feel also. Good shot!
