Elsloo Castle and Elsloo Historic Centre

Highlight • Castle

The original Elsloo is located in the southwestern part of the current town. Despite the strong growth of the village, this old core has been preserved in more or less its original state and has had the status of a protected village view since 1971. Parts of the old village have disappeared due to the construction of the Juliana Canal. Via a steep slope, the Maasberg, one now ends up at the lower canal from the church. The best preserved part of the village is called Op de Berg, where, among other things, the 17th-century Schippershuis is located, since 1960 the regional museum of Elsloo.

The St. Augustine Church used to be central to the village. Due to its location on the edge of the Maas valley, the tower protrudes above the valley and is therefore a recognizable point. The original church dated from 1459, but had become so dilapidated at the beginning of the 19th century that it had to be demolished. The current church was built in 1848 in neoclassical style to a design by Jean Dumoulin. The church houses a late medieval Anna te Drieën by an unknown sculptor, who was given the temporary name Master of Elsloo by art historian Prof. Dr. J.J.M. Timmers.

Another attraction is Elsloo Castle, near the old village centre along the Juliana Canal. The current complex is only part of the original castle, which was washed away by the Maas over time. The castle also used to include the Slakmolen, a watermill that was restored in the 1980s and is now operational again.

St. Augustine Church, Elsloo

Highlight • Religious Site

The church was built after the medieval marlstone church collapsed during a storm in 1843. The church houses several sights, such as the 13th century 'wooden cross of Catsop' and a 'St. Anna te Drieën' by the Master of Elsloo (16th century). This church was built by the residents from home-baked bricks next to the collapsed 15th century marlstone church. To the left of the main entrance is the entrance to a separate Maria devotional chapel (freely accessible).

Juliana Canal between Stein and Elsloo

Highlight • River

A quiet stretch of Julianakanaal between Stein and Elsloo, where the canal meanders along green banks and farmlands. This stretch is ideal for a relaxing walk or bike ride, with regularly passing ships that enrich the characteristic Limburg landscape.

Elsloo Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle is the continuation of a complex of a former brewery with an indoor water mill and a farm with barns and stables, located halfway up the Maasberg. With the exception of the brewhouse, the current castle complex includes the same parts. The brewhouse was converted into a residence in the 17th century, but was not rebuilt after several fires.
The castle consists of a rectangular building, in which the water mill is incorporated and in later times the round indoor tower was added. The current owner is Stichting het Limburgs Landschap. The castle is now operated as a hotel - restaurant - bistro.
