        Built in the Middle Ages, only the keep and some architectural elements remain from this period. After its partial destruction in the mid-17th century, it was restored and converted into an elegant pleasure palace.
        The French park and gardens, redesigned in the 19th century, are part of the parks and gardens in Wallonia classified as exceptional heritage. They are open free of charge during the castle's opening hours. Magnificent rose beds adorn the grounds.

        To learn more about the park and its grounds, you can download audio commentaries at modave-castle.be/les_jardins.

          The castle of Modave is open to the public and offers a visit to more than 25 rooms decorated with beautiful stuccowork, tapestries, paintings and furniture from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. You can also watch a film about the hydraulic wheel that was built in the 17th century to pump water from the Hoyoux. This wheel is attributed to Renkin Sualem, an engineer who was also involved in the construction of the Marly machine, which brought water to the Palace of Versailles.

            Modave Castle is surrounded by a beautiful park, which is part of a 450 hectare nature reserve. You can enjoy the French gardens, the views of the valley, and the walks in the woods.

              The castle of Modave is a beautiful castle in the province of Liège, which was built on a rocky outcrop above the Hoyoux valley. The castle has a long and rich history, dating back to the Middle Ages. It was inhabited by several noble families, such as the Counts of Marchin, the Prince Bishops of Liège, and the Cardinals von Fürstenberg. The castle is now owned by VIVAQUA, a water company that uses water from the Hoyoux for the drinking water supply of Brussels.

                Take a little time to stroll around, take it all in. And if you can plan a picknick, ideal place for that.

                  The Castle of the Counts of Modave is a magnificent 17th-century building perched on a rocky outcrop and is part of Wallonia's Important Cultural Heritage. The castle towers over the valley and offers a beautiful view over the Condroz region.

                    What a beautiful and well maintained (e publicly accessible) castle. I didn't have time to go in, but some pictures ... I had to.

                      Been on our hiking list for a while ;-)
                      Very nicely maintained, unfortunately the terrace was not open (Corona ...)

                          Not a bad little hike.
                          The first half is hilly with beautiful views.
                          The second half is of no particular interest.
                          In wet weather, it is muddy almost everywhere, it is better to wait until it has been dry for several days if you do not like slush.
                          I was alone, I didn't see any wild animals :( except for a kite at the end of the route.
                          I believe that the course must be very busy during holidays and weekends.
                          The "komoot" app had a bit of trouble finding the starting point, and then was very reliable throughout.
                          Happy hiking everyone

                            forced to turn around, the castle is no longer accessible from the back

                              The castle combines medieval origins with baroque elegance and is one of the most beautiful cultural-historical gems in the Modave region.
