Vierset Castle, Medieval castle in Modave, Belgium

The stone castle stands on elevated ground above the Hoyoux river valley, featuring High Baroque architectural elements and extensive period furnishings.

The castle's initial construction started in 1090, belonging to the Barse family until 1292 when it passed to Wauthier de Beaufort through inheritance.

The castle maintains its heritage through regular cultural programs, serving as a venue for concerts, exhibitions, and traditional Belgian celebrations throughout the year.

Visitors can explore the castle and its collections from April through October, with guided tours available in multiple languages upon reservation.

The Brussels Intercommunal Water Company acquired the property in 1941 to protect water resources, integrating historical preservation with environmental conservation.
