Burg Bocholt stands in Nettetal, in the Kreis Viersen, on the site of a former moated stronghold first recorded in the Middle Ages. It is what remains of a powerful noble line, the Bocholtz family, whose name appears in records from the 13th century onward. Visitors today find a 14th century brick tower known as the Kaiserturm, along with a 15th century gatehouse, while the main castle building itself has long since vanished. The surrounding moats and earthworks are still largely traceable on the ground.

What to know

The main body of the medieval stronghold no longer exists, only the Kaiserturm and the gatehouse remain standing.
The site lies in the Lobberich district, at the foot of the Süchteln hills.
Both moats on the western and southern sides, along with part of the earthwork, are still visible around the grounds.
