La Tour du Château is a beautiful, unusual accommodation located in Soignies, Belgium. Pairi Daiza is just 25 minutes away. Become a prince or princess for the duration of your stay, and step back in time in a truly atypical setting. You can arrive from 3 p.m. and leave until 12 a.m., which is rare and very pleasant. Watch this video on TikTok to discover the tower.

Mention Let's Go My Love to the owners when booking, and a bottle of wine will be waiting for you on arrival. You'll also receive a fascinating little book tracing the history of this unique place in Belgium.

Rates start at €195 per night. If you stay 2 nights or more, the rate decreases and becomes really interesting as you no longer have to pay for cleaning.

We were lucky enough to spend a night here. What we liked best: the 1st impression when you arrive on the estate, the quality of the ornaments, the interior steeped in history, the charm of the bathroom and the exceptional view from the summit terrace.

As you pass through the gates of the estate, your gaze is immediately drawn to the majestic sandstone tower on your right. It stands some 30 metres high and blends perfectly into the landscape, with the Château de Thieusies in the background.

Built in 1845, the tower was mainly used to impress other noble families of the time. Laurence and Carlos, the current owners, completely renovated it in 2019 and have perfectly succeeded in blending the ancient with the modern.

Inside, there are 4 floors linked by a 96-step spiral staircase:

- First floor: living area with table, period furniture, wood-burning stove and equipped kitchenette
- 1st floor: bedroom with colorful reflections from the stained-glass window behind the bed (completely dismantled and restored by a master craftsman from Chastres in Walloon Brabant)
- 2nd floor: sublime bathroom with period stonework, restored furniture and walk-in shower (our favorite floor!)
- 3rd floor: terrace with panoramic view of the estate and château, perfect for an aperitif.

When it's raining or snowing outside, the atmosphere inside the tower becomes almost unreal. There are plaids and candles in a drawer on the first floor. Curl up by the fire and put on some music. In the fridge, you'll find champagne and white wine. There are also a few bottles of red wine available near the staircase. Just leave the money in the piggy bank and treat yourself.

In the morning, you can have a delicious breakfast delivered to your door for €15 per person, payable in cash to the delivery driver. On the menu: fresh orange juice, pastries, fresh bread, delicious ham, cheese, jam, fruit salad and yoghurt. For hot drinks, there's a Senseo coffee machine in the kitchen (with pods supplied) and a teapot.

If the weather is fine, put on your walking shoes and set off for a stroll. Just opposite the tower, admire the park and Château de Thieusies. Carlos and Laurence know the area very well and have left a map with a number of walking itineraries. We recommend the walk by the Etang de Saint-Denis.

The Tower is located in the village of Thieusies, Belgium. Please note that the exact address is not correctly displayed in Google Maps.
