The Castle of Seneffe was built in the period 1763-1768 in classicist style according to the plans of architect Laurent Benoit Dewez, as a country residence for the wealthy entrepreneur Julien de Pestre, Count of Seneffe. His son Joseph Depestre inherited the castle in 1774. He had the garden laid out in consultation with his mother Isabelle Cogels. There were statues by Augustin Pajou, a theater by Charles De Wailly and an orangery by Louis Montoyer. The castle and the art collection were sold as national property in 1798, but Joseph's brother Jean-Baptiste managed to keep it in the family through a stooge. His son Honoré de Pestre was able to move in in 1823 and sold it in 1837 out of financial distress.

During World War II, the castle served as the local headquarters and summer residence of General Von Falkenhausen, the military governor of Nazi-occupied Belgium. The castle was neglected afterwards. After changing hands many times, it came into the hands of the Ministry of the French Community of Belgium, which decided to house a museum of silversmithing.

The castle underwent a lengthy restoration, which was completed in 1995. In 2008, the extensive gardens surrounding the castle were recreated, partly according to the original plans.

Feluy Castle

Highlight • Castle

Water castle of Feluy, dating from the 14th century. The foundations of this castle date back to 1380. In the 18th century it was transformed into a luxurious residence, and the moats were widened into a pond. Around 1940 further improvements were made.

The old castle, surrounded by its pond and moats, is the work of Eustache de Bousie. A remarkable round tower portal, formerly passed by a drawbridge and dating from the XIIIth century, was built at the entrance to the castle; on his left is a 15th century fortified fortress. The original building, whose facade remains from the former fence, was destroyed in the 18th century by order of the Countess of Blois, Canon of Nivelles and replaced by the classical house that still exists today.
The seriousness of the whole is balanced by a loggia overlooking a goose pond and a beautiful pier. The chateau was restored and renovated in 1940, and more recently by the current owners.
