The Old Castle of Marbais is a 13th-century medieval castle. It is located on a rocky spur overlooking the confluence of the Thyle and the Ri des Goutailles valley, in Marbais, within the municipality of Villers-la-Ville. This site was once part of the former seigneury of Marbais.

The ruin has since been renovated and is surrounded by rolling meadows with grazing animals...

And suddenly this castle from the 13th century appears in front of you...

We left Bousval itself, at a place called Point du Jour, this path is very pretty and takes us little by little into the Bois de Wanroux where the Cala flows. In this wood, at one point, before joining the paved Conins path which joins the Pallandt castle, the path is not always well marked. Trust your Komoot!

Tongrenelle Farm Castle, located in the hamlet of Tongrenelle, Belgium, was once part of a fortress in the County of Namur, first mentioned in 1209. The castle fell into disrepair and was completely destroyed in 1860, leaving only the farmhouse that preceded it. The buildings date from the 17th and 18th centuries and are surrounded by a moat fed by the River Ligne, which lends a certain charm to the site. However, the property is private and cannot be visited, so you can only admire it from a distance.
