Historic site of the ramparts, built by Vauban

The ramparts, built in the Spanish period, were modified by the famous Vauban himself. We can still admire the towers surrounding the city since the seventeenth century, as well as many other monuments: the tower of the Edifieur Baudoin, one of the oldest of all, Caesar Bastion built under Louis XIV the Green stronghold and the headquarters hospital, or the Fauroeulx door, the only one that did not suffer the Second World War and its demolition. The current castle, the Cernay, was built in the seventeenth century, replacing the twelfth century built by Baldwin IV of Hainaut. You can still see some remains of the original castle that served as a residence to Charles the Bold, as a gateway and a set of Romanesque cellars.

The Wallen Garden in Le Quesnoy is a beautiful park designed around the historic fortifications of the city. It offers a peaceful and serene environment for walking and relaxing. The Wallen Garden is a relatively new addition to the city, designed to embrace the historic fortifications and integrate them into a green, accessible space. The park is a symbol of the combination of nature and history. The park is designed with a focus on natural materials and landscaping that harmonizes with the historic fortifications. It offers several walking paths that surround the city walls and provide access to the fortified bastions and gateways.

Always nice to go through Potelle

Interesting place, a former fortress of Vauban.

Interesting alte Festung Le Quesnoy.

Nice little castle.

Built in a pleasant valley carved out by the Rhonelle, this superb castle was built at the end of the 14th century. This ancient stronghold of Hainaut is an incredible historical witness, take the time to admire it from its gates.
