The castle of Bolinne-Harlue forms with the Saint-Martin church, the presbytery, the farm, in a countryside planted with trees, a natural and monumental site protected and classified since May 26, 1975. It is located in Harlue, village merged with that of Bolinne since 1830 and attached to the municipality of Éghezée since 1977, in the province of Namur in Belgium. It was built towards the end of the 17th century. In the 18th century, outbuildings and the entrance tower were added.
Historical
The castle is the former seat of a seigniory cited in 1614 as the property of the Heyenhovens passed by marriage to the Liedekerke family in 1664, then to that of Blankart-Hovel (1890), to L. de Hemricourt de Grunne then to the family of Parc Locmaria1. It consists of a 17th century mansion, surrounded by two corner towers to the north and west. The square tower-porch in the classic style dates from 1787. In the courtyard, a wing shelters coach sheds in the classic spirit with its five arched arches. The N.W side of the courtyard is occupied by the primitive dwelling in the traditional style, on two levels. This main building comprises two wings at the intersection of which a square stair tower is lit by small windows built in the second half of the 17th century at the same time as the projection of the main building into the courtyard. The farm was burnt down in 1797 and was rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries. Its porch-dovecote dates from the first half of the 19th century. The Brabant-style presbytery dates from the end of the 18th century
