The castle-farm of Thon is a castle-farm complex which dates back to the 14th century, when it was the seat of a feudal lordship. There you will find a medieval tower, a noble residence, a bakery, a farm and a small square tower along the wall. You can admire the castle farm from the outside, as it is privately owned, or book a guided tour to learn more about its history and architecture. The Thon castle-farm is one of the most exceptional monuments in the region and a testimony to the rural heritage of Wallonia.

Thon-Samson Castle Farm is one of the village's most exceptional monuments. They speak of 'castle farm' because it is a large enclosed square farm that consists of a main building for the lord and an adjacent farm. The first mentions of the lordship of Thon can be found in the 14th century. There was then a medieval keep to which a two-storey main building was added in the 16th and 17th centuries. The 'castle' part is to the right of the entrance gate to the courtyard. The rest of the buildings consist of a large farmhouse, built in the 17th century, but renovated and extended in the 19th century. Just next to the main building is a small low door that gave access to the old bakehouse (where the dough was kneaded and the bread was baked). The building is extended on the right with a long wing of stables and on the left by a shorter wing. You will also notice a charming square turret in the corner of the enclosure wall.
