Description

It was built in a bend of the Bocq, whose water flows around the castle along some cascading waterfalls.The castle belonged to the noble family of Beaufort (named after a castle near Huy ). Between 1266 and 1284 Pierre de Beaufort built the main tower which is the core of the castle. In 1288 his son William (Guillaume), nicknamed the "Ardennes", participated in the Battle of Woeringen. Fore his bravery in battle, in which Henry VII of Luxembourg was defeated, he was rewarded with the fiefdom of Spontin. From that time the lords of the castle Spontin constantly added various outbuildings up to the 16th century when it gained its present form.
