Château de Sclessin, Medieval castle in Sclessin, Belgium

Built with brick and limestone, the castle features two square buildings with band-shaped lintels and slate roofs connected by a 19th-century central structure.

From the 13th century until the French Revolution, the Lords of Berlo owned the castle and served as hereditary advocates for the Prince-Abbot of Stavelot-Malmédy.

The castle now houses two cultural organizations: Theatre de l'Aléna in the former ballroom and Centre Antoine Vitez in other sections of the building.

Located at coordinates 50°36'16"N and 5°32'56"E, the castle stands in Liège province and remains accessible for visitors interested in regional architecture.

The castle underwent a near-demolition in the 1990s before its transformation into a professional theater recognized by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
