Chateau Ommerstein or Ommerstein Castle (Dutch: Kasteel van Ommerstein) is a castle in the village of Rotem in the municipality of Dilsen-Stokkem, province of Limburg, Belgium. The history of the castle goes back to the 13th century, but most of the present Neo-classical building dates from the 18th century, although the donjon survives from earlier. Between 1999 and 2007 the property has undergone a severe restoration using the most exclusive and luxury materials and combining modern design with classic elegance and a flavour of art-deco.
