Introduction

Nestling in the heart of Hautes Fagnes, on a protected site spanning over 300 acres, the brown-black shale silhouette of Reinhardstein Castle perches on a rocky outcrop overlooking the deep gorge of Warche valley: One of the treasures of the Eastern Counties (Cantons de l’Est), this architectural ensemble is unique in Belgium. Today, Reinhardstein has been restored to its former glory: its rooms and apartments house a collection of furniture, weapons and tapestries aptly reflecting the tastes and passions of the last masters of the domain and exhaling a very particular, warm and sometimes disconcerting atmosphere.
