Lassus Castle, Medieval castle on the Ourthe River in Hamoir, Belgium.

The castle features a keep with a small adjoining tower, displaying a Louis XIV style fronton that faces directly toward the Ourthe River.

Built in the early 14th century, the castle served as the residence of the Maillen family, who held the position of hereditary mayors of Hamoir.

In 1633, the Maillen family constructed a castle chapel containing tombstones from the Donnea and Maillen families, marking their historical presence.

The property now operates as a holiday rental with two separate accommodations, offering direct access to tennis courts and hiking trails.

Georges Chaudoir, a banker from Liège, expanded the castle in 1897 by adding a large tower and doubling the building size while maintaining the original riverside façade.
