Fosteau Castle, Medieval castle in Leers-et-Fosteau, Belgium.

The stone fortress features a prominent donjon tower, multiple halls, French gardens, and rooms displaying historical furniture and decorative elements.

First mentioned in the Abbey of Lobbes records from 1235, the castle underwent major transformations in 1380 when Jean Clutinc expanded the original tower.

The castle houses a pharmacy museum containing historical medical instruments and the General Reille Room, which preserves artifacts from the Napoleonic period.

Visitors can take guided tours from April through October between 14:00 and 19:00, while November through March hours are 14:00 to 18:00.

The castle retains its original Knights Hall from medieval times, featuring period architecture and structural elements from the 13th century.
