The small theater of the castle of Seneffe is a neoclassical building located in the park of the castle of Seneffe in the province of Hainaut.
The theater of the Château de Seneffe was built in 1779 by the French architect Charles De Wailly.
It is the subject of a classification as a historic monument, with the castle and the entire site, since December 24, 1958.
Count Joseph de Pestre de La Ferté, Julien's eldest son (died 1823) and financier in Paris, partially transformed the park to the Anglo-Chinese taste, to temper the sorrow of the so-called French garden, several factories were built including of the theater used for entertainment in the summer.

Brushed in white and covered with black slate, the building presents a very pure neoclassical style, which we call neopalladian, and a plan of perfect symmetry, consisting of a central part and two low wings.

The central part consists of two registers. The lower register, pierced by tall rectangular French doors with crosses, consists of two massive Tuscan pilasters framing a semicircular entrance pavilion interrupted by columns with Tuscan capitals. Pilasters and columns support an entablature decorated with a frieze of dentils. The upper register, meanwhile, is pierced with two round niches with busts and is surmounted by a triangular pediment pierced by a central oculus. (Originally the original drawings do not show an oculus)

Each of the wings has an arched window surrounded by two rectangular windows (forming a kind of Palladian or Serbian window). Each of these rectangular windows is topped by a round niche with a bust.
