- Well Castle (Dutch: Kasteel Well) is a fully restored 14th century medieval castle located in the Dutch province of Limburg, in the small village of Well, The Netherlands. It is located near the border with Germany, and it is approximately 2 hours southeast of Amsterdam. Kasteel Well itself is made up of two buildings: the Main Castle and the voorburcht, or outer castle. There are two courtyards within Kasteel Well. There are also two moats: an inner and outer moat. These moats once provided protection to the castle and today provide a place to swim for many birds including multiple varieties of ducks, black swans, and geese. Kasteel Well's gardens are available for the public to walk around and admire the grounds. Here there are several well-maintained flower beds, shrubbery, fountains, tower ruins, and trees. From time to time, Kasteel Well's third building, a barn, is used for weddings and other events. Emerson College obtained Kasteel Well in 1988 and since then has been using it to house students participating in a study abroad program. Over the years since it was obtained by Emerson, they have made several renovations, the latest of which added new rooms bringing the student capacity per semester to around 90 students. Every fall and spring semester, approximately eighty students from Emerson's Boston, Massachusetts, campus live in and take classes at Kasteel Well. The classes at the castle have a European focus. The program is spearheaded by the program director, Dulcia Meijers, who is assisted by Rob Duckers and Chester Lee serving as Assistant Directors. Students studying at the castle have class a maximum of four days per week (Monday-Thursday) and therefore have three-day weekends for travel. Therefore, as a part of their education, students are given the chance to travel throughout the European continent on those long-weekends and also participate in two mandatory educational excursions with the faculty and staff of Kasteel Well. Of late, the first of these mandatory educational excursions has been to Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands. For several years, due to European Union regulations regarding the duration of stay in the Schengen Region, a third excursion was required. Starting in the Spring semester of 2009 however, Emerson shortened their study abroad program at Kasteel Well to fit 90 days exactly, therefore negating the need for and avoiding the cost of an additional excursion.

- Kasteel Well is een volledig gerestaureerd kasteel uit de middeleeuwen bij de Limburgse plaats Well in Nederland. Het kasteel werd oorspronkelijk in de 14e eeuw gebouwd als een waterburcht. Het ligt niet direct aan de rivier maar iets verderop in een moerassig gebied en raakte in de Tweede Wereldoorlog zwaar beschadigd en werd daarna gerestaureerd. Het kasteel was van 1771 tot 1852 bezit van de adellijke familie De Liedel, die het had het geërfd van de gravin de Pas de Feuquières geboren van Steprath.In 1944 raakte het beschadigd door oorlogshandelingen, waarna het werd hersteld. Het kasteel bestaat uit het hoofdkasteel en een voorburcht. Zowel het hoofdgebouw als de voorburcht zijn Rijksmonumenten en dat geldt ook voor de bijgelegen bruggen, tiendschuur, ruïne en de historische tuin.Het kasteel was tot 1969 eigendom van nv Landgoederen De Witrijt + Bosserheide van de familie Claessen-Laumans. Hierna is het eigendom overgegaan naar de Stichting Limburgse Kastelen.Sinds 1986 is het kasteel overgenomen en in gebruik genomen door de particuliere opleider Emerson College.
