Beautiful Castle with renaissance features! Unfortunately permanently closed despite google saying it is open. Gorgeous to see from the outside!

The castle is not open to the public but it is very nice and surprisingly big.

The castle ruins itself is not very interesting based on what I have seen from outside. According to the info at the gate the castle is private property and it is only open to public from Jun to September as for 2019. There are guided tours (one of them starting at 14:30 on Saturday ) for EUR 5. It is still possible to go uphill and see the castle gardens from outside if you find it closed. The plus of our visit was the small cosy village at the bottom of the hill and the walk through the forest that leads to the castle main gate and passes through a chapel.

The town of Hierges is a beautiful place to be. It looks like it walked away from a romantic novel with the lovely picturesque houses, the beautiful town square with the little pond and the remains of the old castle sticking out in the background. We had a lovely walk around the town, the church and the forest and we had a good look of the beautiful castle and its gardens. The whole area over there is so beautiful and it is just across the border from Belgium.
