The foundations of the primitive castle date back, according to tradition and chronicles, to the time of Pepin de Herstal (670-714), attracted to these places by the vicinity of Saint-Hadelin and by the favorable location of the hill which dominates and commands the old road from Dinant to Rochefort. Destroyed in 1200, rebuilt in 1230, the buildings burned down at the beginning of the 15th century and were restored after the fire. The castle remained a fortress until the end of the Middle Ages. During the Renaissance, a complete transformation of the buildings was carried out; later, under Louis XV, new modifications mainly concerned the interior design, woodwork, alcoves and wall windows. The plan forms an irregular triangle flanked by four large towers as well as two smaller ones.

During its rebirth between 1969 and 1979, the care taken in the decoration of the castle allows us to imagine and cross over time the different periods from the Middle Ages to the present day. The rooms of the castle have been brought back to life in part thanks to the 18th century furniture offered by Countess Athénaïs de Mortemart to Count Hadelin. Count Hadelin entrusted his wife with the upkeep and interior decoration of the Château de Vêves in order to continue the work undertaken by previous generations.
