Montquintin Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Montquintin, Belgium

The stone remains of Montquintin Castle stand on a ridge, overlooking the Ton valley with views extending toward Arlon and Montmédy.

Built by Count Louis II of Chiny to protect southern borders, the castle became residence of Bishop Jean-Nicolas de Hontheim in 1760 until fire damage in 1869.

The castle structure combines medieval defensive elements with 18th-century modifications, including a cylindrical tower and multiple arquebusier openings.

Visitors can explore the preserved vaulted cellar, ancient bread oven remains, and fortification elements including deep moat traces and high wall sections.

The central section dates from the 18th century, rebuilt by Bishop de Hontheim who wrote revolutionary theories about papal authority under the name Febronius.
