 Sur Les Remparts / Rue Oscar Thimus.
The entrance into the Limburg Fortress Ruins.
The first castle on top of the massive rock above the Vesdre was constructed by Waleran, Duke of Limburg, in 1033. It possessed five big round towers. Impregnable fortress, Limbourg resisted a one-month siege by the troops of Emperor Henry IV in 1101. |

 "An Overview showing: "St Georges Church" and the ruins of "Limburge Fortress".
"Limburge Fortress".
Destroyed by a fire in 1504, the castle was reconstructed between 1519 and 1530, and adapted to the technological advances in artillery. Limbourg was besieged many times between the 16th and 18th centuries, notably in 1578 by the Spaniards, in 1632 by the Dutch, in 1635 by the Spaniards again, in 1675 by Louis XIV (who razed most of the town), in 1703 by the Anglo-Dutch under the command of the Duke of Marlborough, and in 1715 by the Austrians.
The castle left in ruins by all these sieges, was completely dismantled in 1781. Julien d'Andrimont acquires the ruins in the late 19th century and erects a romantic castle, destroyed by the Germans in 1914. After WWI, the site is purchased by architect Jean Lejaer, then by Baron Jean Poswick, who built the residential castle that stands today.

 I think that this may have been a "Gate House" when the image is blown up to max you can see "Two Spires" with what looks like an entrance in the middle.
Todays image only shows one Spire when entering "Pl, Saint Georges" from "Hors Les Portes".
