The Castle of Crupet, located in Wallonia, in the village of Crupet (Assesse region of the province of Namur) is a castle dating back to the Belgian plan eleventh or twelfth century, according to some authors, if we look at its architecture is more likely that his origin dates back to the first half of the thirteenth century. The lordship of Crupet is mentioned in 1278, while the first mention of a work ("Mannar Cripeit") is 1304. Originally, the sturdy tower was surrounded by deep ditches and apparently belonged to the Count of Luxembourg to whom they attributed many other possessions. In 1549 it became the property of the family Carondelet and underwent a renovation with the addition of a floor covered by a pyramidal roof and was transformed into a farm estate. In 1629 or 1667, the property passed to the house and following Merode inheritance and marriage went through the hands of the Count and the Marquis of Boess. The castle was abandoned for a long time and it was purchased in 1925 by architect Adrien Blomme who made it again habitable. According to the limited information available Crupet Castle still belongs to the descendants of A. Blomme.
