Corroy-le-Chateau Attractions

Corroy-le-Château 6km/4mi southwest of Gembloux owes its name to the 13th C. castle, one of the best preserved medieval castles in Belgium.

This moated fortification with its massive gate building, drawbridge and seven massive round towers was commissioned by Philipp of Vianden and was part of a defensive ring around Brabant. The 18th C. conversions have not had a major effect on the overall appearance.

A visit to the castle, which is still inhabited, passes through the 13th C. chapel, refurbished in the 19th C. The remaining rooms contain furniture and paintings from the 16-18th C.; one hall has a collection of old-fashioned clothing.
