Description

The Château de Losange is a white château located in Belgium, in the middle of the Ardennes forest at the locality of Losange (Luxembourgish: Lossich/Loseg), near the small village of Villers-la-Bonne-Eau, in the province of Luxembourg.

This château has become more famous since 1999 because it belonged to Count (deceased in 2008) and Countess Patrick d'Udekem d'Acoz, the parents of Queen Mathilde of Belgium, the wife of King Philippe of Belgium. The latter succeeded his father King Albert II of Belgium on 21 July 2013 after his abdication. It was in this château that Queen Mathilde lived throughout her childhood.

The current owner of the château is Charles Henry d'Udekem d'Acoz, brother of Queen Mathilde of Belgium.
