デュルビュイは1078年（ドルブイとして）および1084年（現在の名前で）に初めて言及されました。最初の居住の痕跡は、グラフ・ピエール・ドルセルによるアンティクリナール洞窟の発掘調査で発見されました。ドルセル家は現在もデュルビュイ城に住んでいます。 現在の城の前には、すでに他の城が存在していました。ルクセンブルクの記録によると、かつて城が破壊され、11世紀にはヘンリー2世・デ・プエルによって別の城が建設されました。彼は教皇ステファン2世の妹である母親のラゲリンと、その夫であるナミュールのアルベール2世からその領地を譲り受けていました。1156年頃、その城は炎によってひどく損傷し、リンブルク公国の継承戦争中にさらに数回破壊されました。 1412年からデュルビュイはブルゴーニュ家のもとに入り、15世紀末には、現在の城はマクシミリアン・オブ・オーストリアによって、ラ・マルク家のすべての城とともに破壊されました。デュルビュイの他に、ロニエ城とラ・ロッシュ城も含まれます。 1628年、グローベンドンクの男爵アントワーヌ・シェッツが40,000金マルクという非常に高額でデュルビュイの領地を借り受けました。彼は男爵であると同時に、グロベンドンク伯爵、ティルブルフとゴイルの領主、ピュルとピュルデルボス、そしてウェツマールでもありました。彼はスペイン人に仕え、八十年戦争中にスヘルトーヘンボス（デン・ボス）の防衛を指揮していました。71歳で、彼はレーウェン包囲戦中にレーウェン市の総督でもありました。 そして彼は、今日まで城に住み続けているドルセル家の長い系譜の最初の人物となりました。 1731年、当時のドルセル公爵によって城は再建されました。 デュルビュイのドルセル家の財産を取得したドルセル伯爵夫人オーギュスタは、1880年から1882年にかけて、ナミュールの建築家ティリアンの助けを借りて城を近代化しました。 第二次世界大戦中、城は数回占領され、1944年のアルデンヌ攻勢中に、アメリカの解放者によって野戦病院として使用され、ビリヤード台が手術台として使用されました。 出典：現在の居住者であるジャン＝ミシェル・ドルセル伯爵のウェブサイトにあるWord文書の歴史的概要、https://www.chateaudedurbuy.be/historique.html

At approximately 37 meters, the top of the Anticline, also known as the Homalius Rock and especially the Falize Rock, is literally the highest point in Durbuy. It has been a highlight for many visitors for years, thanks in part to the surroundings and beautiful water features. The rock is somewhat older than the average visitor. It's said to be more than 300 million years old. However, the rock layers are much older: around 375 million years old. The name Anticline comes from the geological phenomenon known as an anticline. It's the opposite of a syncline. While the former is a fold formed over many years, with the innermost layers being the oldest and the folds running downwards, synclines have folds running downwards. Such folds can form for various reasons and range from very small to large, as seen here. Originally, everything was, of course, horizontal. The inverted U-shape created by uplift in Durbuy is not only beautiful to see but also special. And Durbuy has beautifully highlighted this. Another beautiful anticline can be found in Han-sur-Lesse, also in the Famenne-Ardenne region, albeit in the province of Namur (here we are in Luxembourg), where it has been given the name "Tête de bouc" (Tick of the Rock). There's a waterfall and a large water feature at the end of the expansive pond in front of the rock, which you can also climb. And everywhere there's space to admire it all while sitting and relaxing—or enjoying the water. Don't forget the many smaller works of art and curiosities, and take a look in the water.

Today, the castle is part of the Radhadesh estate, which also includes a more recent residential center and several even more recent agricultural buildings. Openbaar Kunstbezit Vlaanderen (Flanders Public Art Agency) calls it a spiritual community, where the new residents have thoroughly restored the castle and transformed it into a true spiritual oasis where you can explore the colorful culture of Indian traditions. Specifically, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (formerly the Hare Krishna movement) has a base and residential community there. There's also a vegan restaurant, a shop, a museum of sacred art (MOSA), and you can take a paid tour. The temple is accessible without payment. There's also a 2.8-kilometer "spiritual" walking trail.

Built in 1888 and now in its neo-Gothic style, the castle served as a field hospital during the First World War, where the Jourda family cared for wounded and also sheltered local residents whose homes had been destroyed. During the Second World War, it housed American soldiers during the Rundstedt Offensive. From 1946 onwards, it became a holiday center, a school for people with intellectual disabilities, a youth hostel, a campsite, and a hotel-restaurant, all under the initiative of mayors Jean Andrieu of Herstal and Denis Deghaye of Oupeye. After the initiative's bankruptcy, a Brussels real estate agent, Serge Frankovich, bought the property in 1975, leaving it vacant for five years and plundering it. The Hare Krishna movement then purchased it and turned it into the Radhadesh estate.

Since 1980, the castle of Petite-Somme has housed a temple of the Hare Krishna movement, which today operates as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The dilapidated castle, of course, has a longer history. The current castle is also not the original and dates from 1888. The first mention of a castle on this site dates back to the eleventh century, when a certain Gozélonde Montaigu owned it. He was also the first Count of Montaigu. The County of Montaigu was quite influential for a time. It included the County of Duras in the Sint-Truiden region, the County of Clermont-sous-Huy, the Lordship of Jodoigne, and the village of Marcourt. The Counts of Montaigu were also vice-patrons of the Abbey of Sint-Truiden. Ecclesiastically, it belonged to the diocese of Liège. The castle was reportedly donated to the Abbey of Saint Hubert by the wife of Gozélon de Montaigu as penance for his husband's alleged plundering of the abbey's property. In the fourteenth century, a certain Jean de Bohême was said to have owned it, adding a tower to the castle, which became part of Luxembourg's defensive line. In 1461, the castle became the property of the de Hamal family, a Dutch-Belgian noble family that also appears in the histories of several Limburg villages and lordships (including 's Herenelderen, Grevenbroek, and the land of Vogelsanck). The de Hamal family held the lordship and castle of Petite Somme until 1774. Several noble families then succeeded one another. First came Albert Joseph de Favereau, born in 1750. De Favereau demolished the house that had served as the Hamal family's residence and built a brick manor house on its foundations. The new castle remained in the family's possession until 1877. Other sources claim that the demolition was carried out by the Count de Vaux, Aimable-Alexis de Jourda. What is certain is that the de Favereau family building was also demolished by a certain Louise Marie Eulalie, a relative of Baron Victor Albert de Favereau. And whatever the exact details are: it is certain that the current neo-Gothic castle stood there in 1888.
