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.

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