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...

The old castle of Vieusart was built in 1633, the new one was built in 1858 a little higher and further east... Heterogeneous style, with red brick and white stone was a foretaste of the castle in Dilbeek... The old one was demolished in 1864, leaving an English garden of hectares to maintain... The domain is not accessible...

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

Old castle occupied in 1219 by the Lords of Marbais. In the center of the courtyard stands a massive 12th or 13th century schist keep on 3 levels. Walls with a thickness of 1.80 m. It is a rare example of a fortress dating from this period. Burned in 1554 by the French king Henry II.

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!
