The ruins of Goeulzin Castle are what remains of a medieval fortress which was burned down twice in the 16th century and rebuilt by a Count of Bucquoy. The castle, located in the marshy Sensée valley, played a defensive role until the 18th century, when it was abandoned and pillaged. We can still see the remains of its walls, its towers and its main facade with this characteristic plan of stepped gables. You can also admire the neighboring tower which served as an ice house and dovecote in the 18th century.
