The castle dates from the 13th century and suffered heavy damages during successive battles and fires. It was nearly burnt to the ground in 1889 by a heavy fire.Since then, the castle has changed hands quite a few times, the former horse stables were recently converted into guestrooms and a restaurant, and one of the towers (Charles Quint or Kaiser Charles) is now a holiday cottage.

The decanal church in Beauraing is dedicated to the Holy Martin and celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2012. Before that, the building that currently houses the Cultural Centre (100 meters lower on your right hand side) served as parish church.
