Solre-sur-Sambre Castle, Medieval castle in Solre-sur-Sambre, Belgium.
The castle features a rectangular keep transformed into a gate tower, with circular towers at each corner and stone walls surrounded by water.
Built in the late 13th century near a Principality of Liège enclave, the castle belonged to the Barbençon family before passing to the Princes de Merode.
The architecture incorporates elements from different periods, including the medieval keep, Renaissance conical towers, and modifications from the Burgundian era.
Located at the meeting point of the Thure and Sambre rivers, the castle remains a private residence and does not offer public access.
The castle maintains its original heating system through fireplaces, as no central heating has been installed throughout its centuries of existence.
