about Valkenburg aan de Geul

Valkenburg aan de Geul is a municipality in the southeastern Netherlands.

Valkenburg aan de Geul history

The first documented texts mentioning Valkenburg dates from the year 1041. From this year stems a document wherein the German king Henry III (who later becomes emperor) donates four villages to his niece Irmgard. These villages are Herve, Epen, Vaals and Valkenburg. The parchment is signed on the 15th of February 1041 and the name Falchenberch is clearly visible. Historians agree that the current day Valkenburg was not meant, but the current day Oud-Valkenburg (Old-Valkenburg). The name Valkenburg probably refers to the Medieval hunt for falcons, which was a sign of nobility.

Siege and conquest were characteristic of the history of Valkenburg. Each event is withheld, followed by subsequent restorations. This most definitely holds for the castle perched atop of a hill in the middle of the city, of which now only a ruin remains. In December 1672 it is destroyed, not to be rebuilt. Only two city gates (the Berkelpoort and the Grendelpoort) and a part of the citywalls survive destruction. Valkenburg is no longer a fortified city but retained its importance nevertheless.
