Limbricht (in Dutch; Flemish pronounced as /ˈlɪmbrɪxt/; Limburgan; Limburger; Limburgish: Lömmerig in Limburgan; Limburger; Limburgish pronounced as /ˈlœməʀɪx/ locally spelled Limburgan; Limburger; Limburgish: Lömmerich) is a village in the Dutch province of Limburg. Part of the municipality of Sittard-Geleen, it is about three kilometres northwest of Sittard.
The village was first mentioned in 1224 as de Lumburg. The etymology is unclear.[3] Limbricht developed in the Middle Ages to the south of the motte-and-bailey castle Lemborgh. In the 20th century, it developed as a mining town.[4] [3]
Limbricht Castle possibly dates from the 10th century. The current castle dates from around 1630 and is built in a mannerist style. The eastern wing was destroyed during World War II, but rebuilt between 1968 and 1978.[4]
Limbricht was home to 554 people in 1840.[5] was a separate municipality until 1982, when it was merged with Sittard.
