Tips

October 18, 2024

According to legend, the name Aigremont was always closely linked to that of Duke Beuve of Aigremont. According to De Schone Historie by knight Malegijs, Beuve was the great-grandfather of the four Heemskinderen, who opposed Charlemagne.

The history of Aigremont includes many well-known figures. One of them is the infamous Willem van der Marck, who turned against the prince-bishops of Liège and entrenched himself in Aigremont, but had to surrender to the then prince-bishop in 1474. Ten years later, Willem van der Marck was beheaded in Maastricht.

In 1715, canon and landowner of the Liège cathedral, Mathias Clercx, bought Aigremont, which had been rebuilt in the 16th century on the ruins of an old fortification. His family was among the richest in the country. The building was in poor condition, and Mathias Clercx decided to build a new castle on an adjacent site. It became a particularly elegant residence according to the typical classical regulations of that time.

After watching a football match at Awirs, I went back up towards Trixhes and saw the pleasure castle on my way.

There is the possibility of going for some very nice walks but be careful, you must stay on the authorized paths.
