The castle of Vêves is a castle in Houyet in the Belgian province of Namur, on a height near the village of Celles... It has been in the possession of the Beaufort family since the 12th century and has essentially preserved its medieval form...

Hofmeier Pepin van Herstal established a villa on the site along the road between Dinant and Rochefort... This fortification was expanded by his successors and subsequently fell into the hands of the lords of Celles... In the 12th century, Wouter van Beaufort acquired the seigneury through his marriage to Ode of Brittany... His castle burned down in 1200, but was rebuilt by his descendants around 1230... This was necessary again after a destruction by the Dinantes in 1410... The castle retained its military function until the at the end of the Middle Ages and was then rebuilt in the Renaissance and later centuries: battlements disappeared, gabled roofs were added and embrasures were enlarged into windows...
