    The Horloge solaire du viaduc de Blaimont is a remarkable monumental sundial project in Chimay, Belgium. It was installed in March 2022 at the RAVeL 156 Momignies-Chimay-Mariembourg, right in the middle of the Viaduc de Blaimont.

      The sundial is not only a time-measuring instrument but also a tribute to the first nesting of the white stork at the nearby Aquascope Virelles in 2015. It marks the eastern border of the Arboretum 156 Momignies Chimay. The installation of this sundial gave rise to an exhibition at the Aquascope Virelles on the theme of the sun, sundials and the white stork, an emblem of the Virelles Lake Nature Reserve.
