Opposite the church is a large farm with an equally large gate...

Fortemps Farm. Facing the square, an old quadrangle farm from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, grouping around a square courtyard several volumes in brick and Gobertange stone under tile roofs. To the west, dating back to the 17th century, a tall house is arranged perpendicularly between two projecting gables. On the street side, the gable is stepped and pierced, above a rectilinear drip edge, with four small rectangular bays with original casements. A fifth was blocked off on the ground floor. The opposite gable ends with brick ears and brackets. Heterogeneous bays bear witness to successive alterations. On the right side, we can still see a transom window and the trace of a blocked transom window, both under a stone keyed relief strip. At right angles, on a high rubble base, chamfered towards the street, perhaps revealing an older core, another volume, dating from the second half of the 18th century (low dwelling and porch) is brick pupil punctuated by Gobertange stone elements (bandeau, harped angles, bolt holes joined to a cornice). The windows, on the street side with a rectangular limestone frame, and on the courtyard side made of reused Gobertange stone, were refitted during the 19th century.
The porch emerging from this volume via an additional level under a tile pavilion softened with coyaux, offers a cart entrance with a basket-handle arch on small projecting transoms and chained jambs. Above, a window with a curved lintel. A simple wooden beam serves as a lintel on the courtyard side. Next to it, the rubble stone bakery opens with a door with a rounded lintel and a straight stone crossing. Opposite, the wide rubble barn bears the vintage of “1819” above its cart entrance with a basket-handle arch. Attached to the latter, a ruined stable. Of the south and north wings, only the exterior walls remain.

On the square, at no. 6, the Ferme de la Place (or Ferme Fortemps) with stepped gable was built in 1734.
