Château Rouge

The red-colored castle stands with its prominent facades, characteristic roofing, and multiple chimneys rising against the Belgian countryside near the Meuse Valley.

Originally constructed in the 11th century as a religious community residence, the castle underwent substantial reconstruction within its original walls during the 19th century.

The castle features preserved wallpapers in the dining room and ceiling paintings in a pavilion, reflecting the architectural preferences of 19th-century Belgian nobility.

Located between Liège and Namur, the castle grounds include various outbuildings and an enclosure wall, all classified as protected heritage since 1985.

Before its abandonment, this medieval structure transformed from a religious residence into a retirement home, marking different phases of community service.
