A beautiful view of the castle from the central courtyard in the town (on the Ourthe River, Sanglier des Ardennes, and the old bridge). You can clearly see the massive rock, as well as one side of the castle grounds.
A bit of history about the castle: Durbuy is first mentioned in 1078 (as Dolbui) and in 1084 (under its current name). The first traces of habitation were found during excavations in the Anticline Cave by Count Pierre d'Ursel. The d'Ursel family still lives in Durbuy Castle.
