Castle of Fenffe, Royal château in Fenffe, Belgium

The Castle of Fenffe features two levels constructed with pink-painted bricks and blue stone, crowned by a slate roof with wooden cornices.

Built in the late 16th century, the castle changed ownership from the Fenffe family to Charles de Poitiers in 1580, who constructed the present structure.

The castle represents Belgian royal heritage as it served as a residence for Prince Albert and Princess Paola before their ascension to the throne.

The castle belongs to the Royal Trust of Belgium and remains a private property, making it inaccessible for public visits.

Following a fire in 1966, the castle underwent restoration in 1967 by architect Filaine, preserving its architectural character.
