Château Le Fy, Protected heritage château in Esneux, Belgium.

The Renaissance-style château stands on a hill with Gothic roof turrets, a medieval tower, and 343 distinct roof sections within an English park layout.

Built between 1904 and 1905 by architect Paul Saintenoy for Jean-Édouard-Jules Van Parys, the son-in-law of industrialist Ernest Solvay, as a residence overlooking the town.

The property served multiple purposes throughout its existence, including military occupations during both World Wars and later housing Eastern European refugees.

The château underwent extensive renovations after 2003 when businessman Arthur Paes purchased it with financial support from the Walloon Region.

Local records indicate that the architectural elements of the château influenced the design team responsible for creating the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland California.
