The Château d'Argenteuil is a château located in Waterloo (Belgium), on the Argenteuil estate, which lies in the territory of the communes of Waterloo, Ohain (Lasne) and La Hulpe in the province of Walloon Brabant (Belgium). Acquired by the Belgian state, the château housed King Leopold III of Belgium and his wife Lilian Baels, after the king abdicated and left the Château de Laeken.
