Le château en bref
Streversdorp Castle, also known as Graaf Castle or Burg Streversdorp, lies south-west of Montzen, in the municipality of Plombières (province of Liège). A 13th-century rectangular keep, attributed to the Triversdorp family, survives in the middle of the eastern wing. In the 15th and 16th centuries, wings and corner towers were added around a small courtyard, giving the complex its almost square plan. The Van der Heyden Belderbusch family owned it from 1520 to 1830; one of its members was made a count by Joseph II, hence the name ‘Graf’. Dilapidated in the 20th century, it lost its south-west corner tower in 1965, which was rebuilt in the late 1980s by a consortium of owners. A fire destroyed much of the roof in 2005. The castle is a private residence and is not open to the public.
