The castle of Waroux is a castle located on the road to Waroux in the village of Alleur (municipality of Ans).
The current building is originally medieval as evidenced by the square-base keep and flint ring wall. Waroux is one of the few round Belgian castles.

The Waroux domain is part of the county of Loon and belonged to the Waroux family. Through the marriage in 1525 of Agnes van Warfusée, Lady Waroux with Richard Merode (+1539) it comes to the de Merode family. A memorial stone in the castle dated 1696 is decorated with the arms of the de Clercx family, probably the de Merode Waroux family sold to Michel Clercx during the last decade of the 17th century. The de Clercx family of Waroux sells the castle to Francis Everard de Harzir in 1925. The children sell the castle to doctor Leo Janssis in 1986. The latter sold the castle to the municipality of Ans in January 2005.
