The most famous representative of the dynasty, Godfrey of Bouillon (Duke of Lower Lorraine, c. 1060 to 1100), takes us back in time to the late 11th century. Geographically, however, the life story of this man takes us far from his homeland: across the Mediterranean to the Holy Land. He participated as a leading figure in the First Crusade and the conquest of Jerusalem. After the city's capture, he was to become king of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, but he rejected such a title, arguing that the only king over Jerusalem could be Christ himself, who was crucified and buried here—and resurrected.

The fortified castle of Bouillon is situated on three rocky ridges and offers stunning views of the city. During your visit, you can also take in a falconry performance. Falconry was a true art form during the Middle Ages. You can conclude your visit with the Scriptura Museum, which chronicles the history of education, and the exhibition of the fresco "The Armed Pilgrimage of Godfrey of Bouillon." The castle is open daily.

A very beautiful castle. There wasn't a bird of prey show when we were there. Across from the castle is a small restaurant where you can enjoy a drink and a bite to eat, making for a pleasant stopover.

The Birds of Prey show at Bouillon Castle is fantastic fun for all ages. Every few hours during the summer months, a bird of prey show is held. The falconer has various owls, eagles, buzzards, vultures, and of course, falcons. The birds fly incredibly low above the crowd. You can take a seat in the grandstand for this performance at 11:30 AM, 2:00 PM, and 3:30 PM. In July and August, there's also a show at 5:00 PM. There's no extra admission fee for the bird of prey show; it's included in the castle entrance fee. You're also not required to watch the show. If you'd like to watch, you can simply take a seat in the grandstand. A quick tip: it can get quite warm in the summer because of the sun, so bring a hat or a bottle of water.

Bouillon Castle is a hilltop castle above the Belgian town of Bouillon in a narrow loop of the Semois river. The complex was built in the 11th century and converted into a fortress in the 17th century. The time when the castle was built is unclear. Its strategic importance lay in controlling the north-south route from Reims via Liège to Aachen between Upper and Lower Lorraine. The complex was expanded into a proper castle under Godfrey III between 1050 and 1067. It was the center of the rule of the House of Ardennes. Godfrey V pawned the castle to Otbert of Liège in 1096 in order to be able to cover the costs of the first crusade. The castle thus became the property of the Bishopric of Liège. In 1134, Raymond de Bar conquered the castle. Bishop Albero II of Liège had the castle besieged in 1141 and the Count of Bar had to cede it back to the bishop. Since 1330 the dominion was called a duchy (Wikipedia).
