Belgium, Stokay #001 Warfusée Castle
Warfusée Castle (entrance)
The present castle replaces an older castle.
The castle of Warfusée, former residence of Prince Bishop Charles Nicolas d'Oultremont, built by his brother Florent d'Oultremont in 1754, is one of the finest examples of Belgian architecture in the style of Louis XV, a jewel of the purest quality of the 18th century.
The main building with its wide main square has been constructed according to a perfectly harmonious concept of space, building symmetry, plants and colours.
Moreover, in terms of building and interior, it has retained almost all the lustre of that period. At the time, many talented decorators and gifted craftsmen were called upon.
The castle is still inhabited by the Counts of Oultremont.
