The lead section in the article goes over the basics of the Valkenburg castle. It describes how the castle was created in the 12th century and then destroyed by a the emperor only a few years later. The castle was then rebuilt and destroyed later and now have been left in ruins. The article does a simple overview of the castles history but it lacks the depth of what the castle was used for or what the castle featured. The lead is concise. The content of the article is up to date with the last update being in November of 2023. All of the content is relevant to the article. The tone is neutral with no bias would say that the viewpoints are presented well but not in great detail. The refences are good and seem to have true facts. For organization is clear and simple to read with the main information as the first thing you read with a few pictures below. There are only 4 pictures which shows one of the ruins and older photo and the land around. There should me more pictures of what the castle featured. For the talk page a discussion that could be made was maybe more on lord Valkenburg and his role with the castle or the use of the castle and the main features or what the castle used to look like before it was ruins. Overall the article is short and has a brief history but is clear and easy to understand I would say its a good article to get the idea of the

Valkenburg castle.
