Château des Cailloux
Jodoigne, Belgium, Belgium
Château des Cailloux is a late-19th-century castle in Jodoigne, in Wallonia, Belgium.
It was built between 1881 and 1883 for Hector Defoër, an important figure who had made his fortune in Egypt, and it was designed by architect Charles-Émile Janlet in a neo-Renaissance style. After World War II, the Belgian state bought the estate and turned it into an internat, which it still houses today as part of the Athénée Royal de Jodoigne.
A fire in 1952 damaged the roof and towers, so the castle now looks simpler than it originally did, but it remains a notable historic building set in a large park.
