Chimay Castle (French: Château de Chimay) is a château in Chimay, Hainaut, Wallonia, Belgium. The castle has been owned by the Prince of Chimay and his ancestors for centuries, and it is open to the public for tours during part of the year.[1] Although the castle was significantly damaged by a fire in 1935, the structure was subsequently rebuilt, and renovations continue under the current generation of the princely family.[2]
