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.

Limbricht was home to 554 people in 1840. was a separate municipality until 1982, when it was merged with Sittard.
