Donjon de Bierbais, Medieval keep in Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium.
The Bierbais Tower features thick stone walls, narrow windows, and multiple levels constructed with both rubble masonry and brick materials throughout its structure.
Built during the 12th and 13th centuries by the Lords of Bierbais, this defensive tower initially served as a gate structure controlling access to a larger enclosure.
The tower represents a prime example of medieval defensive architecture in Walloon Brabant, displaying construction techniques from several historical periods.
Located at Rue de Bierbais 6, the tower remains a private residence but can be observed from the adjacent public road for photography purposes.
The structure underwent modifications between 1820 and 1830, receiving a crenelated platform and additional brick levels that changed its original military character.
