List of castles in Belgium

This is an incomplete list of châteaus and castles in Belgium. Both the Dutch word kasteel and the French word château refer both to fortified defensive buildings (castles proper) and to stately aristocratic homes (château, manor houses or country houses). As a result, it common to see both types of building translated into English as 'castle', although many of them are not castles proper. Combined with the complication that some aristocratic homes were once intended for defence, here they have not been separated into two groups, and most buildings of both types are labelled as 'castles' in this list.

Most of the old Families still live in the castles, see Belgian nobility.
