Castle of Bousval

The main seigneury that took its name from the village. The original buildings were remodelled many times and soon lost the farm that adjoined them (first half of the nineteenth century). The oldest part of the circular tower, whose roof ends in an octagonal lookout's lodge, is the oldest part (1500-1525). In the 16th century, it belonged to Margaret of Austria's butler. Then bought in 1607 by J-B Maes who transformed it while keeping the tower. On the roof of the main wing is indicated the date of construction of the most important parts of the castle (1617).
