'''Colonster Castle''' (''Château de Colonster'') is a castle near [[Liège]] in Belgium, sited on a rocky spur in the [[Ourthe]] valley. It was first recorded in the 14th century but its present appearance is that of an 18th century rebuild by [[Maximilien-Henri de Horion]], which turned it from a stronghold into a pleasure palace, with interiors decorated by [[Paul-Joseph Delcloche]]. It and its park were acquired in 1963 by the [[University of Liège]].
