Typical Northern European plain castle, preserved on its original plans, walk along the moat after the visit.
Château d'Olhain is a precious example of the fortified castles of the northern European plains. Preserved on its original 13th-century plans, you can visit the interior and stroll along the 80 m-wide moat. The building was designed by Jean de Nielles, advisor to John the Fearless, who undertook fortification work in the 15th century. It was confiscated by Charles V and occupied by the Spanish, who blew up two of its towers. Listed as a Monument Historique in 1989, it is one of the finest medieval fortresses in the region.

Une petite visite guidée serait le top !
Beautiful location by a lake - note that it’s not possible to get anywhere near just to take a photo of the chateau / lake until the property opens as the pathway is on the property.
Cash only and they didn’t have change on our visit.
