Château d'Amblève, Medieval castle ruins in Aywaille, Belgium
The stone remains of Château d'Amblève stand on granite cliffs above the Amblève River, featuring ancient walls, towers, and fireplaces.
First mentioned in 1049, the castle passed through multiple hands including the Duchy of Limbourg, Duchy of Brabant, and House of La Marck.
The castle served as a judicial seat for Sprimont and residence of regional lords, representing medieval governance in Wallonia.
The castle ruins require a thirty-minute forest walk to access, though visitors should exercise caution due to steep paths and unstable structures.
In 1577, William of Orange's garrison occupied the castle, leading to its destruction by Catholic forces the following year.
