La Berlière Castle, Neoclassical château in Houtaing, Belgium.

La Berlière Castle is a long, low Neoclassical stone building in pale yellowish-grey, standing at the water's edge behind a strip of grass in Houtaing. Its symmetrical facade has a central block one storey higher than the wings, topped by a balustraded parapet. Tall rectangular windows mark the main floor, with smaller square windows above, and a balustrade runs along the left wing's roofline.

A first defensive keep was built here around 1330 by Michel I, baron of Ligne, to protect a game-rich valley belonging to the abbey of Saint-Amand-en-Pévèle. The seigneurie passed through the Saint-Genois and Dennetières families before Balthazar d'Ennetières, 9th baron of La Berlière, commissioned the Tournai architect Antoine Payen to build the present classical château between 1796 and 1800. In 1844 Marie-Rose d'Ennetières brought the estate to the Oultremont family by marriage.

The château's name comes from the seigneurie de La Berlière, sold in 1511 by Antoine Ier de Ligne, called "le grand diable", to the Saint-Genois family. The d'Ennetières descendants took the title barons de La Berlière under Spanish then Austrian rule. Today the building houses Collège Visitation-La Berlière, a mixed secondary school run by the Josephite Fathers, which first enrolled girls in September 2017.

The castle stands in Houtaing, a small village within Ath municipality in Wallonia, and holds the status of protected heritage. Visitors should note that access may be limited, so gathering information beforehand and focusing on exterior views is advisable.
