Braine Castle, Medieval castle in Braine-le-Château, Belgium.
The castle features a square layout with two prominent towers on the west wing and stands within a system of moats and marshes.
The Lords of Trazegnies initiated the construction in the 13th century, moving from their hilltop position to establish control over the Nivelles-Halle road.
The castle reflects the architectural evolution from a defensive stronghold to a residential estate through its enlarged windows and modified structure.
The castle remains a private residence owned by the de Robiano family descendants, with exterior views available from surrounding public areas.
The castle grounds contain rare twin artificial hills from the 11th century, a structural feature uncommon in regions north of the Loire River.
