The Château de Neufchâteau in Belgium represents a significant piece of medieval history dating to 1199, when construction began on a fortress that would define the town's name and character. Though largely in ruins today, the castle's remnants—including the distinctive Griffon Tower—remain visible within the old town and are interpreted through explanatory panels along a guided walking route. A 1/20th scale model offers insight into the castle's former grandeur as a buffer fortress between the competing powers of Namur and Brabant during medieval conflicts. The castle's heritage is documented on the historic Arenberg Map of 1609, displayed in the town centre.
