The Boetselaersborg was built in 1550 by Daem and Hector, two bastard sons of Willem III of Bergh. It was damaged severely during the Eighty Years War, and it was fully restored by 1632. The settlement was largely expanded upon in 1725 and 1927.

Bergh Castle
The Kasteel Huis Bergh or Bergh Castle is a castle in 's-Heerenberg, and used to be owned by the counts of Bergh. The building dates back to the 13th century, though the then constructed castle burned down in 1735. It was rebuilt shortly after. Nowadays the castle houses many Italian artworks and an extrordenary collection of medieval handwritings. Furthermore, the castle is occasionally used by travelling theatres.
Bergh Mint
The counts of Bergh had several minting companies at or near their castles in 's-Heerenberg. The mint, which was built upon medieval privileges given to the counts of Bergh, was blooming mostly in the 16th century. This mint specifically, has been used between 1580 and 1632, after which private minting companies were forbidden by the Dutch state. Groups can request a tour of the mint at any time of year. Individuals can visit the mint and the Bergh Castle at certain times.
