Going down the Samson valley towards Goyet, after crossing the village of Faulx, we discover on the left a real fairy tale castle. Built at the end of the 13th century in Gothic style, the castle deteriorated considerably from the end of the Middle Ages until its restoration in the 19th century by the architect Henri Beyaert who kept its old towers and redid the left facade in style. reborn. After the terrible fire of 1961, the old main building on the north side was replaced by the current gallery. Curiosity: a few steps away, an old 18th century mill.

Access: Private domain, castle partly visible from the Chaussée de Gramptinne.

The Château de Faulx-les-Tombes was originally built in the 10th century as a fortified tower, of which few remains remain of the medieval structure. Around 1340, the castle came into the possession of the Marbaix family. The castle changed hands several times and in 1665 came into the possession of Count Rasse Erasme de Corswaren, whose descendants retained the castle until the French Revolution.
The western facade of the current building dates from 1563, but most of the castle was completely rebuilt between 1867 and 1872 in the Romantic style by architect Henri Beyaert, who also designed several famous buildings in Brussels. In 1961, the castle was severely damaged by fire, but it was fully restored to its original style. From 1972 onwards, it was owned by the municipality of Etterbeek and used for purposes including school trips and social tourism. The castle was converted into a hotel and restaurant, but the business eventually went bankrupt in 1988, and the property was put up for sale.
Today, the castle is privately owned and not open to the public. It is idyllically situated in a wooded setting along the Samson River.
