Château de Lavaux-Sainte-Anne

In medieval times, the creation of the Principality of Liège made the region of Lavaux a border area with the Duchy of Luxembourg.

The animosity and distrust of the towns of Liège against the Duke of Burgundy grew and armed bands roamed the country which was no longer safe.

Jean de Berlo, Lord Lavaux, who had initially accepted a treaty of neutrality with the town of Dinant (1462), chose to align himself with the prince in his fight against the rebels of the Liège region.

After fights that caused great destruction in the region, Jean de Berlo escaped to the court of Louis of Bourbon.

The peace imposed by his son, Charles the Bold, establishes that no castles destroyed during the war in the territory of the principality could be rebuilt except those of the bishop's supporters, including those of Jean de Berlo.
