There has been a castle on this spot ever since the seventh or eighth century, but the present structure dates back to 1410. Perched dramatically on a rocky outcrop overlooking the picturesque village of Celles, which is considered one of the "Most Beautiful Villages of Wallonia", it is composed of five magnificent towers. Inside, there's a remarkable half-timbered gallery from the 16th century, as well as some sophisticated 18th century furniture, rare pieces of porcelain, historical souvenirs and paintings. Still inhabited by the same family, Vêves is an extraordinary sentinel of memory and time.
