Beautiful castle in the distance, a pleasant distraction between the struggles on the climb.

Froidcour Castle is located between the villages of Stoumont and La Gleize, in the province of Liège in the Walloon region of Belgium.

The first castle on this site was built in the Middle Ages to guard the Amblève valley. Around 1600, it was replaced by another castle, the Chateau de Salm. This castle was demolished at the beginning of the 20th century.

So Froidcour Castle may have a medieval appearance, but appearances can be deceiving. In fact, the castle was built, in a neo-medieval style, between 1912 and 1919 by the Esquire Charles-Albert de Harenne, mayor of Stoumont.

Today, Froidcour Castle is still privately owned by the De Harenne family. The castle itself cannot be visited, but you can stay in a large guest house next to the castle and in a room in one of the towers.
