Mirwart Castle

This resulted in a conflict between the Prince-Bishop of Liège and his new vassal, who sought support from the Counts of Hainaut, Luxembourg, Namur and Loon, and even from the Dukes of Brabant.

Control of the castle changed regularly until it was finally held by Prince-Bishop Adolph II of the Marck.

It was only at the beginning of the 18th century that a long undisturbed period began when extensive renovations and embellishments could be undertaken.

In the middle of the 19th century it was renovated by Alphonse Balat, architect to King Leopold II of Belgium.

As a result, little by little, the castle was neglected and was subsequently looted by burglars who removed valuable furniture and decorative fittings from the interior.
