Petite-Somme Castle, locally known as Chateau de Petite-Somme, lies in a small village by the same name, south of the city of Luik (or Liège in French) in Belgium.

We saw this castle lying from the road when driving through the Ardennes region of Belgium in 1992. We visited it and, boy, did we get a guided tour. It turned out that the castle was some kind of center of Hare Krishna followers. They even persuaded us to chant in their temple. All in all, unexpected fun. We didn't convert but their homemade cookies were delicious! They did give us a tour through the castle from top to bottom but told us mainly of their beliefs.
