Tips

Already mentioned in 1546, the current castle is part of an older construction about which nothing is known. Big names will preside over the destinies of Soye, 't Serclaes, de Lonchin, d'Yve, de Blommaert, and each will leave their mark in the evolution and layout of the buildings.
The last major transformations date from the first half of the 19th century and make the whole place a very pleasant place to stay.
Adjoining the castle, the remarkable farm (strictly private) from the second half of the 17th century. This farm, 90 meters long and 67 meters wide, was designed according to sketches by Vauban.
You should know that the Grand Dauphin stayed at the Château de Soye during the siege of Namur in 1692.
Originally, the farm and castle were surrounded by moats fed by the nearby Ry des Mignats (or Miniats). Several armorial stones allude to the different owners of the place.
Since 1923, the castle and the farm have been separated and belong to different owners, which is not without causing certain concerns regarding the architectural integrity of the farm.
In short, a very beautiful set, but to be admired from afar.
