摘要：On the south side of the village of Walhain-Saint-Paul in Walloon Brabant a round donjon tower stands looking over the cultivated fields southwest toward Gembloux, once the site of a renowned Benedictine abbey that, according to a charter of 946, owned the land on which the tower would later be built (Figure 1).2 Presumably its construction took place around 1200, the moment when the vogue for this circular form, called tour philippienne after the prototype that the French King Philip II had erected in Paris and elsewhere in his domains, was spreading. Perhaps it was Arnold II, Lord of Walhain, known for some time as an important vassal of the Dukes of Brabant, who commanded the work. His name appears in charters in the 1160s and in 1184 he isqualified ministralis and ducal counselor; he is still attested in a charter of 1205. Perhaps it was his nephew Arnold III, who appears in the charters in 1210, and is attested as late as 1235.3
