Rijckholt (Limburgish: Riêkelt) is a village in the Dutch province of Limburg. It is located in the municipality of Eijsden-Margraten.
== History == The village was first mentioned in 1330 as Rykilt, and means "mighty forest". Rijckholt developed in the Early Middle Ages in the valley of the Maas. In the 12th century, it became a free heerlijkheid (=no fief) and in the 16th century until 1794, a barony.
