Château-ferme de Moriensart, Medieval castle in Céroux-Mousty, Belgium.
Description
Château-ferme de Moriensart is a castle and farm estate in Céroux-Mousty featuring a Romanesque tower from the 13th century topped with a Gothic pyramid-shaped roof. It has four polygonal corner towers built from brick and stone that define the fortified structure.
History
The Romanesque tower was built in 1220 for Arnould Ier de Limal, marking the start of this fortified estate. The property expanded and was modified over centuries, creating the medieval structure visible today.
Culture
The castle combines residential and farming uses within one estate, reflecting a medieval tradition where lords lived alongside agricultural production. This dual function remains visible in how the property is organized and maintained today.
