The Château de Farciennes is a 17th century Belgian castle located in the commune of Farciennes in the Walloon region. Farciennes was once established on the borders of the Principality of Liège on the left bank of the Sambre which served as the border with the County of Hainaut. It was an enclave subservient to the episcopal city. The castle followed a medieval keep. It was once surrounded by water thanks to a slight diversion of the river. The castle is no more than a shadow, shrouded in green clothes that are in no way academic. Attached to tinsel, it retains some of its superb ancestral status. From what remains, we see walls built of bricks and bluestone for the frames and window frames and the chaining of the edges of the three square towers.
