Le château en bref
Bonneville Castle, in the municipality of Andenne (province of Namur), is a seventeenth-century Mosan château that grew out of the conversion of a fifteenth-century fortified farm with a keep. In 1617, Jacques de Zualart, mayor of Namur, bought the estate, which became the lordship of Sclayn-Bonneville, and set about building a harmonious residence. Its principal north wing received a façade in the Mosan Renaissance style, rhythmed by alternating bands of brick and limestone courses. The whole forms an L-shape flanked by three corner towers. His son Tilmant continued the work, which ruined him; around 1690, his chief creditor, Jean-Hubert de Tignée, became the owner and completed the project at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Since then, the château has never been sold again: it still belongs to their descendants. To the west, a formal French garden, which has remained almost unchanged since its creation, extends the residence. A private property not open to the public, the château has been listed as a monument since 19 October 1982.
