Château des Comtes, Castle in Mouscron, Belgium

The rectangular castle features a two-level facade in Tournai style, topped with a tall slate roof and includes a northern stair turret and southeast corner turret.

During the first half of the 15th century, Oste de la Barre converted a farm called Ramées into a fortified castle, which later became Château des Comtes.

The outbuildings of the castle house the Marcel Marlier Center, dedicated to the life and work of the local illustrator who created the character Martine.

The castle grounds offer educational walks around the moats, while the Marcel Marlier Center provides interactive exhibitions for visitors throughout the year.

The structure retains its original moats and contains a corner turret that functions as both a well and a dovecote.
