Waroux Castle

About

Waroux Castle is one of the most distinctive historic sites in the Liège region, known for its rare circular layout and deep medieval roots. Originally built in the 13th century, it served as the seat of a local lordship and later became a focal point in regional conflicts, including the War of the Awans and Waroux. Its stone keep and encircling walls still reflect its defensive origins, while later additions introduced a blend of brick and cut‑stone architecture around a polygonal courtyard. For centuries, the castle remained in the hands of noble families before passing to the municipality of Ans in the early 21st century. Today, Waroux Castle has been revitalized as a cultural venue, hosting exhibitions and artistic events that animate its historic spaces. Set at the edge of the Hesbaye region, it offers visitors a compelling mix of heritage, atmosphere, and contemporary creativity within a uniquely preserved medieval structure.
