Obbicht Castle stands on the foundations of a medieval castle. In 1570, during the Eighty Years' War, the castle was destroyed, rebuilt and partially destroyed again during the Spanish War of Succession (1701-1713). The ruins were bought in 1778 and a new castle was built in Louis XVI style. In 1954 a fire destroyed the main building. In 1973, Peter Szymkowiak bought the castle remains with the overgrown park. In 1975-1988 he rebuilt the castle in its original state.
