The Château de Marie de Hongrie, also known as the Palace of Binche, is a former royal residence located in Binche. The medieval castle and subsequent Renaissance palace served as a residence for the counts of Hainaut, the dukes of Burgundy and the Habsburg rulers of the Netherlands. The palace was built between 1546 and 1549 by order of Queen Maria of Hungary, governor of the Netherlands. It was one of the first Renaissance palaces in the Low Countries, intended to rival the French Palace of Fontainebleau. It was destroyed in 1554 by soldiers of King Henry II of France. Today, only some medieval walls and foundations of the castle and palace remain.
