Crèvecœur Castle, Medieval fortress in Bouvignes-sur-Meuse, Belgium.
The castle rises 80 meters above the Meuse River, featuring a square keep with two staircases leading to a semi-circular fortification structure.
Built in 1320 during regional conflicts, the castle served as a strategic defense point until French troops damaged it with artillery fire in 1554.
The castle name translates to 'broken heart' from a tale of three women who jumped from the tower rather than surrender to enemies.
Visitors can access the castle ruins via Rue Cardinal Mercier in Dinant, with parking facilities and pet-friendly areas available on site.
The castle structure spans three distinct levels, with the uppermost section containing a Romanesque keep and the middle level preserving ancient cellars.
