Château de Walhain, Medieval castle ruins in Walhain, Belgium.
The stone fortress stands at the meeting point of Hain and Ri des Radas rivers, featuring a cylindrical tower and remains of corner structures.
The castle originated in the late 12th century under Duke Henry I of Brabant as a defense post against the territorial claims of Namur County.
Archaeological teams from Belgian and American universities conduct regular excavations at the site, uncovering details about medieval construction techniques and daily life.
The Institut du Patrimoine Wallon manages the site through a local association, with visits arranged through the Walhain Tourist Office.
The fortress represents the only surviving lowland castle in the region, with its original double moat system still visible in the landscape.
