Corroy-le-Château Castle

Written traces of a powerful Corroy family date back to the 11th century. In the 13th century, Count Vianden built an enormous fortress and castle in the middle of the marshes bordering the Duchy of Namur. The fortress was inspired by the plans of the Louvre. Over the centuries, it underwent various modifications, mainly to make it more comfortable.

Le château passe de génération en génération dans la famille. Ainsi l’actuel Marquis de Trazegnies est le descendant direct des comtes de Nassau qui ont construit cette forteresse.
