Wégimont Castle, Heritage castle in Soumagne, Belgium.

Wegimont Castle is a heritage building in Soumagne, Belgium, positioned within a 22-hectare park near the Herve plateau. The structure displays Renaissance mosane architecture blended with traditional Belgian construction features, and it now operates as a facility offering lodging, dining, heated swimming pools, fishing opportunities, and recreational sports areas.

The lords of Ayeneux are mentioned from the 13th century, but the castle of Wégimont first appears in archives in 1574. It was partly destroyed in 1636 by the Grignoux. From 1942 to 1944, under the name Heim Ardennen, it was the only Lebensborn home in Belgium, run by the SS. The site is now a provincial domain.

The name Wégimont is first recorded in 1574, when the archives mention the castle; the seigneurs of Ayeneux are cited from the 13th century. The site is now a provincial domain of the province of Liège, with an open-air swimming pool, so the grounds are used for recreation rather than as a residence.

The castle stands in Ayeneux, part of Soumagne in Liège Province, and the site is now a provincial domain with an open-air swimming pool. The red-brick tower with its slate spire and clock face marks the main building; a trimmed hedge and lawn lie in front of it. Allow time for both the building and the grounds.

The castle was the only Lebensborn home in Belgium: from 1942 to 1944 the SS ran it under the name Heim Ardennen, and descendants of the children born there are said to still live in the Liège region. The site is now a provincial domain with an open-air swimming pool.
