Cartier Castle, Protected heritage castle in Marchienne-au-Pont, Belgium.
The castle stands along the Sambre riverbank, featuring traditional Belgian architecture with multiple wings and a central courtyard surrounded by stone walls.
Built in 1635 by the Honoré family, the castle served as a military hospital during the War of Devolution in 1667 for both French and Spanish forces.
The ground floor houses the public library named after French novelist Marguerite Yourcenar, who visited the castle in 1956 due to family connections.
The first floor contains administrative offices of the Walloon region, while the courtyard remains open to public access as part of the municipal park.
A complete replica of Cartier Castle was constructed in Beijing between 1910 and 1917 using materials transported from Belgium for the Belgian diplomatic mission.
