The keep of Crupet is one of the most beautiful in Belgium
A “donjon” or keep is a medieval fortified residential tower, originally often intended as part of a castle.
Such a residential tower contained 3 to 5 rooms one above the other, which originally consisted of an entire floor and of which at least one room had a fireplace.
The keep of Crupet (13th century, upper part 16th century) never had a military function. It was built as a fortified residence for a distinguished family.
