    Located in the woods of the Julienne, the Wixhou mushroom was erected around 1850 by Count FR-J de Mercy-Argenteau near the chapel and Château d'Argenteau. A small building with a recreational and ornamental vocation, it is a rare element of our heritage which offers walkers a place of rest or even a belvedere. The ornate cast iron barrel was produced by the Réquilé foundries in Liège. The zinc roof presents interesting frescoes under the roofs. In 2017, this factory underwent a major restoration.
