Chateau des Amerois, Castle in Bouillon, Belgium

The Chateau des Amerois stands in the Ardennes forest, featuring neo-Gothic architecture with a chapel decorated by polychromes and a surrounding park with redwoods.

Prince Philippe, Count of Flanders and brother of King Leopold II, commissioned architect Gustave Saintenoy to rebuild the castle between 1874 and 1877 after a fire.

The castle demonstrates the architectural preferences of Belgian nobility in the 19th century, combining defensive features with decorative elements typical of that period.

The estate remains private property of the Solvay family and contains multiple structures, including greenhouses that previously housed thousands of plant varieties.

The castle grounds include Belgium's tallest tree, a Norway spruce measuring 53 meters, documented in 1989, alongside a notable giant sequoia.
