List of castles and châteaux in Belgium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

This is an incomplete list of castles and châteaux in Belgium.[a] The Dutch word kasteel and the French word château refer both to fortified defensive buildings (castles proper) and to stately aristocratic homes (châteaux, manor houses or country houses). As a result, it is common to see the name of both types of building translated into English as 'castle', which can sometimes be misleading. Combined with the complication that some aristocratic homes were once intended for defence, here they have not been separated into two groups, and most buildings of both types are labelled as 'castles' in this list. Many members of the old Belgian noble families still live in castles (see Belgian nobility).
