View of Bouillon Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bouillon is an old medieval city that has had an extensive military past. The community of the 'Pearl of the Semois' has managed to preserve some buildings and other remains over the centuries.
“Witnesses from the past, the pride of the present”.

On this meander of the Semois, the castle from the 10th century and several buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries have a history and they know how to tell this story through their appearance...

View of Bouillon and the Semois River

Highlight • Viewpoint

The old town of Bouillon is located within a loop of the Semois in southern Belgium just a stone's throw from the French border. The charming town invites you to stroll and feast along the riverbank. Over the narrow streets of the village towers the mighty castle that characterizes the image of Bouillon. It dates back to the 11th century and was converted into a fortress in the 17th century according to the plans of the famous master builder Vaubun. It served to control the north-south route from Reims via Liege to Aachen.
