Description

Kastellet Franchimont er ruinen af en borg, der blev bygget i det 11. århundrede på en klippe i de belgiske Ardenner, som dominerer dalen af Hoëgne. Det ligger i kommunen Theux i provinsen Liège.

Højborg blev bygget, efter at biskoppen af Liège fik den verdslige magt i en del af sit bispedømme. Det skulle beskytte Liège mod øst. Oprindeligt var det ikke mere end en kaserne. Den største udvidelse skete i det 16. århundrede under prins-biskop Everhard von der Marck. Kort efter blev artilleriet forbedret så meget, at slotsbygningen kunne beskydes fra de omkringliggende bakker; som følge heraf mistede det sin militære rolle.
