Castle of Ronse, Renaissance château in Ronse, Belgium

The castle featured a U-shaped design with five levels, measuring 58 by 72 meters and incorporating red brick with natural stone elements.

John VIII of Nassau-Siegen constructed the castle in 1630 after purchasing the barony of Ronse from the Granvelle family descendants.

The interior displayed portraits of the Nassau family members and contained a two-story chapel with a gallery on the first floor.

The foundations and basement sections of the original castle remain visible beneath the 19th-century villas built on the property.

The castle's architecture drew inspiration from the Luxembourg Palace in Paris and the Alcázar of Toledo in Spain.
