Couldn't access the closed ruins, but nice walk and very beautiful views.

It is off limits but the municipality would do better to fix it up as it certainly has potential value for tourism in Waulsort (Hastiere). You have to claw a bit to get there.

No longer accessible, has become part of a closed nature reserve. But unclearly closed and due to erosion the descent there to the Meuse has become very steep and dangerous.

Not that hard to find with a little creativity. Unfortunately, access to the site is no longer allowed.

Amazing area for walks and views but wouldn't go just to see the ruins.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
