The castle, already mentioned in the 14th century, was severely damaged by the 1692 earthquake and was rebuilt between 1723 and 1749 in the Louis XV style. The L-shaped outbuildings with their two square towers, built around 1746 on the site of the old castle, are closer to the Louis XIII style. Around 1857, Henri de Woelmont filled in the moat and removed the drawbridge. The castle is still owned by the same family today.

Always interesting to read. You will definitely learn something.

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.

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

From the 11th century onwards, there is said to have been a maison forte at Soiron, which was initially a wooden construction. In the 14th century, a stone castle (chastael) was mentioned on this site. This castle was neglected and in 1587, the then owner, Christian de Woestenraedt, had a new and more comfortable castle built: Het Kasteel van Sclassin. Part of the original castle remained habitable, even though it was damaged during the earthquake of 1692. From 1723 to 1749, a little to the north of the original castle, a new castle was built by Nicolas-Ignace de Woelmont and his wife Angélique d'Argenteau. Their coats of arms adorn the triangular pediment above the main facade, which was executed in Louis XV style. In 1857, the then owner, Henri de Woelmont, had the moats filled in and the drawbridge removed. The family still owns this castle. The castle is surrounded by a symmetrically laid out garden.

The ruins of the small castle are picturesque

The complex includes several adjoining courtyards. The first courtyard is surrounded on all four sides by galleries with Gothic cross vaults resting on 60 columns. They are all designed differently and richly decorated with fantastic human figures and grotesque masks. They were probably inspired by the humanist way of thinking, the Renaissance and the discovery of the New World. Inside the building, numerous pieces from the time of the prince-bishops have been preserved, including their former private apartments.
