Castle of Faing, Medieval castle in Jamoigne, Belgium

The castle features three wings arranged in a U-shape, with four circular corner towers and limestone facades highlighted by horizontal bands.

Built in the 12th century, the castle belonged to the Faing family until 1709, when it was completely rebuilt between 1872 and 1880.

During World War II, the castle served as a sanctuary where 87 Jewish children found refuge from deportation under false identities.

The castle currently houses the municipal administration of Chiny and visitors can explore its exterior grounds without any entrance fee.

The crow emblem of the castle builder appears on each tile of the entrance hall pavement, representing a distinctive architectural signature.
