The Château de Peralta is a castle in the city of Liège, originally from the 14th century, located in the Angleur district.

Formerly known as the Château de Kinkempois, the exact origin of the castle is unknown, but writings attest to its presence in the 14th century. The castle was a strong and defensive fortress of the Prince-Bishop of Liège and was bought in 1457 by the Saint-Laurentius Abbey, which kept it in its possession until the fall of the Principality in 1795.

Afterwards, Charles J. Desoer, a Liège family who published the Gazette de Liège under the ancien régime, became the owner. Later, Ferdinand de Lesseps, related to Desoer, became the owner, he lived there for a month and gave it to his daughter Valerie Desoer, Viscountess Clérambault. In 1885, it became the property of her daughter, Desiree Jeanne Fernande Josephus Clérambault, born in the castle in 1845. She married for the second time with the Marquis Maria Manuel Peralta, a diplomat. It is from this time that the castle is called "Castle Peralta".

On December 8, 1885, a fire almost completely destroyed the castle. It was restored in 1887 by the architect Gaspard Lambert. In 1919, after the death of the Marquise de Peralta, her son sold the entire house to Bernheim, a real estate company from Paris.

On December 16, 1935, Bernheim in turn sold the castle to the city council of Angleur. A renovation followed in 1936 and 1937. In November 1940, a fire destroyed the attic and the roof. Rebuilt and restored, the castle was destroyed again in 1944 by Allied bombing of the Val Benoit bridge and by German flying bombs shortly afterwards. The renovation took place in 1951 by architect Joseph Moutschen with respect for the old style and by reusing as much as possible.
