The Solre-sur-Sambre chateau (fort) with moat in Erquelinnes, Belgium.
"The castle Solre-sur-Sambre Erquelinnes is a major fortified heritage of the Middle Ages in Belgian province of Hainaut. It is placed at the foot of a hill taking the appearance of a Greek theater on which stretches village. At the location of the orchestra, in the marshy plain, lies the huge square of lawn Solre. On the forefront: a medieval castle surrounded by a moat, beautifully preserved. Show not to be missed. The construction of the castle Solre-sur-Sambre dates back to the late thirteenth century. The building will experience later several revisions, some defensive (such as the addition in 1487 of walkways on two circular towers at the corners north), others for pleasure. But overall, the original fortified character will only be minimally affected, making it a unique cookie sobriety and rigor of medieval military architecture." Google translated from
