Omal Tower lies in the village with the same name, south of the town of Waremme in Belgium.

This building may not be a 'real' castle, but it's a nice and unknown ruin, that's the advantage of being your own webmaster.

It is more a fortified tower house, built in 1625 by the Mollin-Menjoye family. It was meant as a refuge for the local village population during times of passing foreign troops. During peace time it was used as a dovecote.

I don't know if it was ever attacked, because I wasn't able to find any more info. If you got some, please mail me.
