Château de Hierges, Protected historic castle in Hierges, France
The castle features three large round towers constructed with red brick and blue stone, positioned on a rocky outcrop near the Meuse valley.
Originally named Château de Jerusalem, the fortress dates from the 9th century and underwent major reconstruction in 1560 following the architectural principles of the period.
The castle structure demonstrates the evolution of military architecture, incorporating both defensive elements and residential features common in French Renaissance buildings.
While the castle remains privately owned and closed to visitors, the exterior walls and towers can be observed from multiple vantage points around Hierges.
One semi-circular tower covered in blue Givet stone remains inhabited, while the gardens maintain their Renaissance-era layout and design.
