The majestic Dalhem Castle is located in the middle of a 5 hectare park, lined with trees, some of which are very old. It looks like an old fortress, but it was not built until 1914 by Henri Francotte, in the Mosan Renaissance style of the 17th century.

In 1912, Henri Francotte, from a wealthy family that owned the "copper and zinc factories" in Liège, professor at the University of Liège and mayor of Dalhem, had the building constructed in the 17th century Mosan Renaissance style. Francotte died in 1918, leaving the castle to his son Henri, who was a priest. In 1947, the castle became the property of the diocese of Liège, which provided a shelter for the needy, young people and the disabled. In 1999, the estate was incorporated into the deanery of Visé and a new non-profit association was created, "Château de Dalhem", with the aim of promoting the heritage and the social and event vocation of the place - source and more information about what you can do and experience there at chateaudedalhem.be/nl/histoire-chateau-dalhem-province-liege

You can see the "castle" here on the other side of the Berwijn.
