Château de Walzin
A fairy-tale castle on a cliff above the Lesse River, one of the most photogenic castles in the Ardennes. Enjoy it from the water by kayak or from a viewpoint across the river.
The castle dates back to the 13th century and was extensively remodeled in the neo-Gothic style in the 19th century. Its towers, gables and cliffs blend together and are reflected in the Lesse River. The castle is privately owned and is usually closed to the public. The best way to see it is on a Lesse kayak trip, looking up from the water. You can also drive to a viewpoint across the river, or take a footpath for photos from a distance. It is about 7 kilometers from Dinant and can be combined with Vêves Castle, Celles village and Furfooz Park for a half-day driving route.
