Château du Moisnil, Heritage castle in Maizeret, Belgium.

The castle features a preserved wing constructed in 1902 by architect Octave Flanneau in Louis XV architectural style with symmetrical proportions.

In 1645, the feudal property with its castle sold for 22,000 guilders before falling into ruins by 1677, leading to extensive reconstruction.

Local records mention that writer Jean de La Fontaine reportedly stayed at the castle in 1692, composing parts of his literary works.

The castle remains a private residence owned by Count Didier d'Ursel since 1988 and does not offer public access to visitors.

The German air force bombing in May 1940 destroyed the oldest sections of the castle, leaving only the 1902 additions standing.
