워터 캐슬은 밀렌 또는 밀리나 영지의 중심지였으며, 이는 룬 백작령의 봉신이었습니다. 1143년에 처음 언급되었습니다. 가장 오래된 영주는 루이 2세 폰 룬의 집사였던 발터 폰 밀렌(Walterus de Milne)이었습니다. 이 영지는 순차적으로 멜린, 프로에스트(1369), 기고벤(1456), 베를로즈(1479), 호템(1531), 플레롱(1625), 헴리쿠르트(1741) 가문의 소유가 되었습니다. 성은 1365년에 처음 언급되었습니다. 원래의 성은 14세기에 워터 캐슬로 개조되었습니다. 당시에는 정사각형 워터 캐슬로 확장된 오래된 돈주앙, 성문탑, 두 개의 측면 탑으로 구성되어 있었습니다. 17세기 전반에 폐허가 된 성은 성으로 개조되었습니다. 군사적 의미가 없는 편안한 귀족의 집이 되었습니다. 18세기부터 성은 더 이상 영구적으로 거주되지 않고 황폐해졌습니다. 1811년에 블리시아 남작이 성을 구입한 후, 돈주앙과 남서쪽 탑을 포함한 상당 부분이 철거되었습니다. 동쪽과 서쪽 날개만 남아 농장으로 사용되었습니다. 1972년에 성의 유적은 시에서 구입하여 복원했습니다. 석회암으로 된 14세기 왼쪽 탑에는 고딕식 아치형 천장이 있습니다. 이 탑은 12세기까지 거슬러 올라갈 수 있는 동쪽 날개의 일부입니다. 현재 성에는 16세기와 17세기 귀족의 삶을 보여주는 박물관이 있습니다. 또한 주변 지역의 자전거 도로망의 중심지이며, 유로지역의 요새화된 과거를 주제로 합니다. 건물에는 관광객을 위한 식당도 있으며 워터 캐슬은 무료로 입장할 수 있습니다.

The Château de Colonster is located in Sart-Tilman, on a rock overlooking the Ourthe valley, on the edge of the city of Liège. The castle and its park have been the property of the University of Liège since 1963. The first references to the castle date back to the fourteenth century. The castle owes its current appearance to Maximilian-Henry of Horion, Count of Horion. The interior of the castle is the work of artist Paul-Joseph Delcloche. In 1966, a fire destroyed a large part of the castle. The restoration and conversion took place under the direction of the architects Henri Lacoste and Jean Opdenberg.

Basement and moated main building in Maasland Renaissance style, consisting of a rectangular west and south wing, which enclose a square, partly paved castle square in a hook shape. The castle is built in red brick interrupted by marlstone bands and rests with the castle square on a substructure of brick and bluestone blocks. As such, the castle was built or completed in 1636, five years after the marriage of Arnold de la Margelle to Margaretha Anna Francisca van Bocholtz. This event is commemorated by a facade stone above the gate on the south side of the south facade, where the front of the castle is located. In archive documents from 1633 present at the castle, there is mention of an architect Servais Charles, who may have been the builder of the castle. Traces of construction in the foundation in the form of a fire layer approx. 2.75 meters below the castle square give rise to the suspicion that the castle was built on the site of an older building.

Tip: if you keep walking straight ahead from the main entrance you will reach the Maas. Look left and you will see a small path. Walk a few meters on it and see how the Voer flows into the Maas here. A beautiful view of a surprisingly peaceful spot on the beautiful grounds of the castle where you also walk a beautiful piece of wild garlic path.

The park features works from the Musée en Plein Air, including the two sculptures "Movement through Time and Space" (Stainless steel / Artist: Thierry Bontridder) and "Joie de vivre" (Bronze / Artist: Rik Wouters). Source: https://www.campus.uliege.be/cms/c_2223166/en/b25-colonster-castle

This place bears witness to a rich past. It probably all started in the 12th century with a fortified residential tower, which was converted into a moated castle, a military stronghold, during the 14th century. In the 16th century, this stronghold was converted into a residential castle in the Maasland Renaissance style. In the meantime, the moated castle was restored and given a new purpose, namely a tourist information café and a Euregional visitor centre for 'castles and fortifications in the Euregio Maas-Rhine'.
