Robertville, Belgium

Robertville (Walloon: Li Rbiveye, locally as Rebîveye or Rubîveye) is a former municipality in Belgium, now forming part of the municipality of Waimes, Province of Liège, in the Walloon Region. In 1 January 2005 it had 2402 inhabitants.

The castle

It was a separate municipality (formed of the villages of Robertville, Ovifat, Sourbrodt and Outrewarche) before the merger of the municipalities in 1977. Prior to that date it was also the highest municipality in Belgium, marked by the Signal de Botrange (694 m above sea level).

It is the site of Reinhardstein Castle. It is also known for its dam across the Warche, built in 1928, which created the 62 hectare Lake Robertville to provide the Malmedy region with drinking water and to supplement the supply of electricity to Bévercé.
