Château de Seraing-le-Château

The stone fortress features high defensive walls, multiple towers, and an architectural design characteristic of Belgian medieval military structures.

Originally constructed in 1302 by the lords of Haneffe, the castle passed through several noble families including the La Marck dynasty until 1774.

The castle reflects the changing power dynamics of the Principality of Liège, where noble families maintained control through strategic marriages and alliances.

While the castle remains closed to visitors, its exterior walls and structures can be viewed from the surrounding public roads.

Following a fire in 1869, architect Paul Demany reconstructed the castle according to medieval specifications while adding modern architectural elements.
