Beautiful location in a beautiful part or Belgium next to a river. But I have to say that you need 1 to 1.5 hours to explore the ruins tops so I am not sure if it is worth it for all people to drive to this remote location. Perhaps you want to check it out if you are in the area

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.
