Fontaine-l'Évêque Castle
Fontaine-l'Évêque Castle, Renaissance castle in Fontaine-l'Évêque, Belgium.
The castle complex contains two main buildings with seven towers, surrounded by a dry moat within the town of Fontaine-l'Évêque.
The original 13th-century castle, built by Nicolas de Fontaine, Bishop of Cambrai, underwent reconstruction in 1408 following fire damage during regional conflicts.
The building serves multiple functions as both the municipal town hall and a protected heritage site in the Wallonia region.
Located at Rue du Château with coordinates 50.412172, 4.324005, the castle grounds remain open while interior access requires administrative permission.
The Bivort de la Saudée family commissioned architect Auguste Cador to restore the castle in the 1860s, adding new architectural elements.
