A medieval château recorded since 1235, between Mons and Chimay

Between Mons and Chimay, set within an estate of 1.34 hectares, the Château de Fosteau ranks among the best-preserved seigneuries in the Kingdom. From its keep first recorded in 1235 to the headquarters of General Reille on the eve of Waterloo, and a drawing made by Victor Hugo in 1867, every stone of this Gothic residence bears the mark of an exceptional European history. Less than one hour from Brussels, Lille, Namur and Tournai.

Preserved Gothic architecture with French-style terraced gardens

The private driveway and courtyard of honour majestically introduce interiors presenting remarkably preserved period elements. The Gothic towers, the French-style terraced gardens and the views over the pond, private woodland and orchard compose an architectural and landscaped ensemble of historical coherence and quality that is exceptionally rare on the Belgian real estate market.

French-style terraced gardens, pond, woodland and orchard across 1.34 hectares

The French-style terraced gardens open onto a serene vista over the pond, private woodland and orchard that compose the 1.34-hectare estate. This landscaped setting of absolute tranquillity, intimately linked to the history of the château since its medieval origins, offers an extraordinary quality of life and contemplation within a perfectly preserved environment.

Unique heritage since 1235, hotel potential and strategic location

A Gothic château among the best preserved in the Kingdom, a principle agreement for a hotel project with restaurant and spa, a strategic location less than one hour from four major cities, and a history intertwined with Charles V, Napoleon and Victor Hugo: Fosteau represents a patrimonial opportunity of a historical dimension and development potential that is absolutely without equivalent on the Belgian market.
