Le Rœulx Castle, Medieval castle residence in Le Rœulx, Belgium.

The castle features a classical facade with two expansive wings added in 1713 and 1760, exhibiting traditional Wallonian architectural elements.

In 1429, Jacqueline of Bavaria transferred the ownership of Le Rœulx castle to Anthony of Croÿ, initiating centuries of Croÿ family residency.

The castle maintains its position as a central component of Wallonian heritage, representing the architectural preferences of Belgian nobility through centuries.

Visitors need to contact the administration before planning their visit as the castle undergoes periodic renovations and maintains specific opening schedules.

The castle grounds transform into a launch site during the first Sunday of June, when Belgium's largest hot air balloon festival takes place.
