Gussignies Castle

Highlight • Castle

The seigniory of Gussignies was owned in the 15th century by the House of Haynin10 and in the 16th century by the family of Cordes.

The feudal castle of Gussignies has disappeared; the current castle dates from the end of the 18th century, when the Count of Fourmestraulx had a hunting lodge built consisting of a corridor leading to boudoirs (oral tradition), the origin of the current castle.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Anthime-Hyacinthe de Fourmestraulx established a marble sawmill at the bottom of the castle, along the Hogneau, and operated a quarry.

Count Anthime Hyacinthe de Fourmestraulx Saint-Denis had two daughters who shared the castle: Mathilde (1809-1894) married Bertrand Delpoux de Nafines and Zoé (1817-1885) married Count Anne Philippe Picot de Moras. The castle was in poor condition and too small to accommodate the two families. It was transformed in 1865. On the death of the Countess Picot de Moras, the castle represented too large a share in the sharing and had to be sold. The Viscount of Lourmel du Hourmelin bought it in 1887 and in turn sold it in 1912 to Count Édouard Le Mesre de Pas for his daughter Marie-Thérèse, wife of René de Witte14[insufficient source].

The current castle has been the property of the Witte family since 1912. Yves de Witte (theologian) and his wife Renelde Nolet de Brauwere van Steeland took over the property in 1977 followed the following year by his brother Jacques-Antoine (lawyer) and his married Thérèse Delvaux de Fenffe. Their father, Bertrand de Witte and his wife Marie-Simone de la Kethulle de Ryhove, settled in the outbuildings of the castle.
