This is not entirely correct and the source is not credible. Thomas Bonehill died in 1858 and therefore cannot have started the construction of the castle in 1887. It was his son Emile who initiated it (for his daughter Elisa, information to be validated).

"In Hourpes, the second residence linked to the family of Thomas Bonehill, an English engineer and founder of the Forges de la Providence in Marchienne-au-Pont (a company specializing in steel production), still exists. Thomas Bonehill, during a trip to Bohemia, was amazed at the sight of a castle; he had a replica built between 1887 and 1888 for the daughter of Emile Bonehill-Servais, with a concierge's lodge on the left and a stable on the right. The Bonehills operated two factories in Hourpes, and had the mining village built there, which is still there today. They went bankrupt in 1926, and the equipment was dismantled and transferred to Ireland ten years later." https://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/wm11K38_Chteau_de_Hourpes_Thuin_Belgique

The first traces found date from the 12th century. The castle was destroyed several times. In 1790, for example, it was completely destroyed by a fire started by the so-called Sansculottes. The castle was only restored from 1830 after the Hanseval family bought it. They turned it into a house with barns. In 1872 the castle became the property of Louis Mouvet, who from 1896 housed a brewery called "Brasserie de Thy-le-Château" in it. This brewery would exist until 1919, when the industrialist Louis Piret, owner of the local steel factory "Saint-Eloi", bought the castle. From 1928 to 1931 he would completely restore the castle. But in 1940 the castle was again destroyed by an attack by the German army on a French army ammunition transport. The entire charge exploded and damaged the castle. After the war it was restored again. The film De Leeuw van Vlaanderen, which appeared in 1984, was partly shot in the castle. Today the castle, which stands empty, belongs to Mr Corbeau.
