Salmchâteau (Luxembourgish: Salem; Walloon: Såm) is a village of Wallonia in the municipality and district of Vielsalm, located in the province of Luxembourg, Belgium. It is situated on the river Salm. The Counts of Salm build a château in Salmchâteau, of which only two towers remain. This gave the village its name.[1] A museum focused on the grinding wheel and regional geology is located in the village.[2]
