Castle of Freÿr, Renaissance castle and gardens in Hastière, Belgium
Located on the left bank of the Meuse River, the Castle of Freÿr features symmetrical gardens with centuries-old orange trees and water features.
The original fortress from 1378 was transformed into a Renaissance manor after 1554, with additional wings constructed during the 17th and 18th centuries.
The Treaty of Freÿr, regulating trade on the Meuse and Sambre rivers, was signed here in 1675 between representatives of Louis XIV and Charles II.
The castle opens from March to November, with guided tours available through smartphone applications and informative panels throughout the property.
The gardens contain orange trees over 350 years old, maintained in traditional wooden cases and stored during winter in specifically designed galleries.
