Château de Trois-Fontaines, Medieval castle in Auderghem, Belgium.

The stone castle stands at the edge of Soignes Forest, featuring multiple towers and defensive walls constructed in vernacular architectural style.

Built in 1410, the castle functioned as a prison for poachers and forest law offenders until its transfer to Laeken prisons in 1786.

The castle chapel, established in 1355 by Duke Jean III, honored Notre Dame and Sainte Catherine with regular religious ceremonies and services.

The castle ruins remain accessible through Chaussée de Wavre, with bus routes 41 and 72 providing convenient transportation to the site.

The structure includes four water spouts, though only three were visible to passing boatmen, giving rise to its name Trois-Fontaines.
