Château d'Eulenburg

Plombières, Belgium, Belgium

---

Château d’Eulenburg (also known as Château David) is a striking 19th‑century château in the Moresnet part of the commune of Plombières, in the province of Liège, Belgium, set on a hillside in the district of Bambusch near the three‑border area with the Netherlands and Germany.

It was built between 1878 and 1901 by Victor David, a wealthy member of a local drapers’ family from Lambermont, who gave the building the name “Eulenbourg,” possibly in reference to the nearby place‑name Ullenelsen (from “Eule” = owl and “Elsen” = elms in German).

The architecture is eclectic with a strong neo‑Gothic character, and the château has been described as looking like something from a fairy tale, with richly decorated interiors that include carved wood panels, heraldic coats of arms and other elements originally taken from the 18th‑century town hall of Aachen.
