Le château de Belle-Maison

Marchin, Belgium

---

Le château de Belle-Maison in Marchin, Belgium, is actually composed of two adjoining castles: the oldest section is a square-shaped building made of limestone and sandstone, dating from the 17th century, while the newer U-shaped part was constructed between 1726 and 1734 with red brick and light-colored stone.

The château features a grand baroque chapel decorated with rocaille stuccoes by Tomaso Vasalli (1734), and its interiors include marble fireplaces and works by artists such as Vasalli and Moretti. The château, its ornamental park, and the chapel’s interiors are listed as exceptional heritage sites in Wallonia.

The place is also notable for its setting in a large open square bordered by other key buildings of Marchin, such as the neo-Gothic Saint-Hubert church, the town hall, and communal amenities, making it a historic and cultural focal point of the area.
