Château de Laclaireau, Renaissance castle in Ethe, Belgium

The rectangular castle features three sections with hipped roofs, a central decorated oriel, and two lateral brick wings added in 1877.

Between 1852 and 1855, Parisian architect A. Decloux designed this residence for Camille de Briey, a liberal politician and Master of Forges.

The architecture combines elements of Lombard Quattrocento and French Renaissance styles, with eight small windows displaying varied shapes and pediments.

The Fondation Demeures & Châteaux maintains the castle, with three restored rooms on the first floor displaying period furniture.

The castle served as a hospital during the 1914 battles of Virton and housed American forces in 1944 without sustaining damage.
