The Citadel of Dinantis an impressive stronghold located on a rocky outcrop above the Walloon city of Dinant, Belgium. It is open for the general public and accessible by botha stair path and a cable car, to satisfy everyone’s individual experience preferences. Ready to go?
The first reinforcements to emerge on the spot date back to the beginning of the 11th century. During this period, the region was commanded by the Prince-Bishopric of Liège – a part of the Holy Roman Empire.
On top of the Roman remains, Louis XIV’s genial architect -Vauban – created his version of the castle, which was later destroyed.
Finally, the Citadel’s current version was built in 1815 and was later turned into the museum of weaponry and history that you can visit today.
In August 1914, the fortification beheld a massive clash between the French and the German troops. A dedicated section of the area introduces a reconstituted air shelter that enables visitors to explore this rather dramatic page of history.
Are you already packing? Here are a few useful, practical details to keep in mind when approaching the location.
Also, here is a secret hint to encourage your adventurous spirit: you can explore the Citadel and the valley of the Meuse river on a special boat trip, offered on-site. Unveiling the experience is all up to you now.
