Castle of Neureux

The castle features four corner towers, with two remaining at full height, and displays symmetrical openings across its neoclassical facades with curved stone lintels.

Built in the 14th century by the Aubigny family, the castle experienced a major fire in 1789 and underwent extensive reconstruction in 1834, preserving its original cellars.

The property changed ownership multiple times, including being confiscated by King Louis XV in 1751 and later serving as a residence for financial officers.

In 2015, an electrical malfunction triggered a devastating fire that damaged the roof and interior, leading to repair estimates between 1.5 and 2 million euros.

Dutch film director Roeland Kerbosch and former ballet dancer Valérie Valentine renovated the castle from 2007 to 2014 before selling it to a Belgian cycling champion.
