Kasteel Neercanne
A Baroque castle built in 1698 on the edge of the Jeker valley. Its terraced gardens are built into the cliff, and wine cellars sit in marlstone caves below.
The castle stands on a cliff on the west slope of Mount Saint Pietersberg, facing the Jeker valley. Its gardens are laid out in several terraces up the hillside, making them a rare Baroque terraced garden in the Netherlands. The castle now houses a fine-dining restaurant, and the marlstone caves beneath the cliff serve as wine cellars. A small vineyard is also visible. The gardens and surrounding trails are free to explore, but dining requires a reservation. It is about 40 minutes on foot or by bike from the south of Maastricht along the Jeker River, and it can be linked with the ENCI Quarry and the Mount Saint Pietersberg trails.
