Forgotten History
Bethaniakasteel
Diepenbeek, Belgium
The Bethaniatoren is a remaining corner tower of a square water castle, called Burghof or Ter Borch Castle, in the Belgian province of Limburg, located at Dorpsstraat 18. In 1622, Walter de la Montaigne, diplomat and clerk in the principality of Liège, built a square moated castle with two towers. The remaining tower bears the inscription Bethania and also the imperial double eagle of Prince-Bishop Ferdinand of Bavaria with his name Ferdinando and the text Domine protege nos (Protect us Lord). After an eventful life, Walter de la Montaigne died in Hoeselt in 1633 and left his castle to the sisters of the Maastricht Order of Calvary of Elisabeth Strouven, of which he was a follower.
