Fagnolle Castle, Medieval castle in Philippeville, Belgium
The limestone castle features a square layout measuring 35 meters on each side with round towers reinforcing every corner of the structure.
Built in the 12th century, the fortress changed ownership multiple times before William the Silent partially dismantled it during military operations in 1555.
The ruins represent a rare example of Syrian-Palestine architectural style in Belgian medieval fortification construction.
The Fondation Roi Baudouin currently maintains the site, which remains closed to visitors during ongoing preservation work.
The south tower maintains four distinct levels, making it the most complete remaining structure of this defensive fortification in the Fagne region.
