Château de Tassigny

Château de Tassigny is a 16th-century castle with four square towers positioned at the corners of a rectangular shape, and living quarters attached along the northwest and southwest walls. This arrangement creates a distinctive L-shaped floor plan that defines the building's layout.

The castle was built on the site of a medieval fortress destroyed by the Burgundians, leaving only foundations behind. This new construction replaced what had stood there before.

The chapel inside the east tower shows gothic vaults and is topped by a distinctive roof lantern that stands out when you look at the building.

The monument sits near the French-Belgian border and is visible from the D44 road that leads toward Orval Abbey. Its location makes it easy to spot while traveling through the border area.

Eight sculpted pillars and their gates form notable external features of the castle and received protected monument status in 1991. These decorated supports are details that many visitors miss on a first glance.
