Soiron Village

Soiron is one of the "Most Beautiful Villages of Wallonia". It is good to stroll through its pretty flowery alleys. The center is dominated by the imposing Saint-Roch church. Two castles, crosses, potales, a wash house and a brewery help to accentuate the charm of the village.

Soiron was included in the list of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia (Les plus beaux villages de Wallonie) because of its numerous buildings in the Meuse Renaissance style.
The first mention of the place can be found in a document dated August 13, 1005, when the St. Adalbertstift in Aachen was awarded the neighboring villages of Soiron and Olne by Henry II. Soiron remained the property of the Aachen Monastery until 1802.

In 1692 the entire village, except for the church tower, was destroyed by an earthquake and was subsequently rebuilt.
In addition to several town houses, the church (1723), the castle of Baron de Woelmont, which was modernized in 1860, and a public washhouse (restored in 1983) date from this period. Under the rule of the French Republic, Soiron became an independent municipality in the Ourthe department in 1797.
