château de Parentville
Charleroi, Belgium
The Château de Parentville is an industrial employer's residence located in Couillet (Charleroi) built on the hillside for Basile Parent. It is surrounded by a 20 hectare wooded park. This is where German General Max von Bahrfeldt, commander of the 19th reserve division, set up his headquarters during the Battle of Charleroi in August 1914 and where the “Treaty of Couillet” was signed which avoided the destruction of the city of Charleroi. In 1895, the castle was acquired by the Solvay company to serve as official accommodation for the directors of the factory located in Couillet.
