Bouillon Castle, Medieval hill castle in Bouillon, Belgium
The stone fortress stands on three rocky peaks above the Semois River, with its highest point reaching 75 meters above the water level.
The castle, first documented in 988, gained prominence when Godfrey of Bouillon sold it in 1082 to finance his participation in the First Crusade.
The Scriptura Museum within the castle walls presents the evolution of writing from medieval times through a collection of manuscripts and educational materials.
Visitors can access the castle daily from 9:30 to 19:00 during July and August, with guided tours available in English, French, German, and Dutch.
The castle provides night tours where participants navigate dark corridors with torches, exploring underground passages and defensive structures.
