Château de Fallais, Medieval castle in Braives, Belgium

The castle features limestone walls, round corner towers, and a moat surrounding its rectangular courtyard, reflecting architectural elements from multiple centuries.

In 1465, the castle hosted a pivotal meeting between Louis de Bourbon and Charles the Bold before the Battle of Montenaken.

The fortress represents the architectural evolution of defensive structures in Wallonia through its combination of 14th, 16th, and 17th-century elements.

Located at Rue du Château 1 in Braives, the castle remains private property and does not permit public access to its grounds.

French King Louis XIV ordered artillery fire on two towers during the 1678 siege of Huy, leading to the reconstruction of Grignard tower in sandstone.
