Château d'Herbeumont, Medieval castle ruins in Herbeumont, Belgium.

The stone fortress stands on a rocky hill above the Semois Valley, featuring remaining towers, walls, and defensive structures from its original construction.

Built in the 11th century by Jean of Rochefort, the castle endured numerous modifications until French troops destroyed it during an attack in 1657.

The castle ruins demonstrate the architectural techniques of medieval military construction and represent the feudal power structures of historical Wallonia.

Visitors can access the site through Rue du Château in Herbeumont, with parking facilities and guided tours available in multiple languages.

The strategic position of the castle allows visitors to observe the winding course of the Semois River from various vantage points within the ruins.
