Excavations are conducted year-round at Moha Castle, making it unique in Belgium. When I visited, two archaeologists were uncovering a wall that runs beneath the visible castle and likely dates back to the 12th century.

The castle is free to visit. At the foot of the rock, there's a visitor center where you can pick up a badge to open the gate. For €4, you can also get a brochure with information about the most important points. The castle is only open to visitors starting in April, but the friendly man at the visitor center let me in on February 27th... as far as you can even call it "inside" at this ruin ;-)

The "Rocher du Château de Moha" is a limestone outcrop rising from the Mehaigne valley. It was a strategically important site in the Middle Ages, when more castles were built on rocks. This made the site difficult to besiege, and it was well-placed as a control point over the valley. The rock is very recognizable in the landscape. The ruins on the rock are still clearly visible, and the medieval structures are still easily recognizable.

The Château de Moha is a medieval feudal castle in Wanze, built on a rock at the confluence of the Mehaigne and Fosseroule rivers. Dating back to the 7th century, the castle served as a defense for the region. It became the property of the Prince-Bishops of Liège, who used it as a fortress and prison. In 1376, the castle was captured by the inhabitants of Huy through deception, marking the end of its military function. The castle subsequently fell into disrepair, but the ruins have been preserved and are open to the public.

Beautiful castle with moat in the limestone of the region from the 13th century. It was long the property of Charles the Bold.

In the 12th century there was already a castle here. An old keep with walls one meter thick is still a witness, but what it looked like is unknown. Later, various renovations and adjustments to its time took place

The domain is closed and the castle is partially covered in scaffolding. It is currently only visible from a distance.

The current Château de Fumal is the result of more than four centuries of adjustments, extensions, repairs, renovations of a 16th century castle at its core. The appearance of the bell tower in “Mosan” style with the spherical shape is quite rare in Haspengouw. A large farm and barn are connected to the castle.
