The fortified castle of Bouillon, the oldest in Belgium from feudalism!

Visit one of the fortified castles of Belgium and travel through more than 1000 years of history!

The fortified castle of Bouillon, which stands on three rocky peaks and overlooks the Semois and the state, is considered, with its maze of corridors and immense vaulted rooms, to be the first and most interesting vestige of feudalism in Belgium.

The origins of the first fortifications date back to the 8th century.

He was immortalized by Godefroid, leader of the first crusade (1096) and confessed to the Holy Sepulchre, who linked the castle to the archbishopric of Liège to finance his expedition to the Holy Land.

Finally, during the wars of Louis XIV, it will undergo major development work by Vauban and will be militarily occupied until 1830.
