Networks
The castle is also a member of several networks of organisations. One is Revivak, lasting from 2016 until March 2019, an Interreg project in Belgium and the Netherlands that seeks to reignite interest in traditional craftsmanship and technology.
Another example is the candidature from Schaesberg Castle by IBA Parkstad, which until now is the only ‘International Construction Exhibition” in The Netherlands. IBA Parkstad stimulates sustainable, forward-looking projects that will further the development of Parkstad Limburg, and develops new and innovative functions for local monuments.
