The Castle of Bouillon

The oldest and most interesting vestige of feudalism in Belgium. The origins of the first fortifications date back to the 8th century. Their existence became a certainty in 988. He was immortalized by Godefroid, leader of the first crusade (1096) and lawyer of the Holy Sepulcher.

The castle was occupied militarily until 1830.
