Écaussinnes-Lalaing Castle
Écaussinnes-Lalaing Castle, Medieval fortress in Écaussinnes-Lalaing, Belgium
The castle displays Gothic architecture with multiple towers, surrounded by fortified walls that extend along the Seneffe Valley slopes.
Baldwin V, Count of Hainaut, established the initial fortress in 1184, which later expanded through modifications by the Lalaing and Croÿ families.
The ground floor museum contains collections from the van der Burch family, featuring porcelain and furniture from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Visitors can explore the castle from April to October on Sundays between 2 PM and 6 PM, with guided tours available for groups.
The castle garden, positioned on a steep rock, benefits from specific weather conditions that have sustained plant life for centuries.
