Castle Bouillon (Belgium)

This huge fortified medieval stronghold was already built in the 8th century !

In the course of history this fortress underwent several wars, but was never destroyed, making it therefore the oldest remaining castle in Belgium.
Additional reinforcements were placed in the 16th century.

The castle is situated on a rocky spur in the afforested valley above the river Semois and consists of 3 fortresses which are linked by means of bridges with one another.

Not really an architectural gem, but a perfect example of a medieval fortification and still worth seeing.

impregnable walls… a diehard bastion of defense, surrounded by life-affirming green and sheltered by a bunch of benevolently biased clouds – maybe that's its secret! ; ) amazing, how it survived the centuries undestroyed, in this belligerent world of hours! beautifully composed once again, mark! love, how the leaf is reaching into the shot like an armorial flag buoyantly annoucing a mediaval tournament! ; ) greetings, sabine.

Oh, I think this architecture quite successful. Of course, the safety of the fort at this time was more important. Nevertheless here are some nice stylistic elements to find. A very good shot despite the picture noise in the sky ;)
Wish you a nice weekend
