    Tips

    "In Hourpes, the second residence linked to the family of Thomas Bonehill, an English engineer and founder of the Forges de la Providence in Marchienne-au-Pont (a company specializing in steel production), still exists.
    Thomas Bonehill, during a trip to Bohemia, was amazed at the sight of a castle; he had a replica built between 1887 and 1888 for the daughter of Emile Bonehill-Servais, with a concierge's lodge on the left and a stable on the right.
    The Bonehills operated two factories in Hourpes, and had the mining village built there, which is still there today. They went bankrupt in 1926, and the equipment was dismantled and transferred to Ireland ten years later."
