    If you like heritage and history, don't miss visiting the Naisse mill in Virton, an old water mill dating from 1578. You will discover its restored mechanism, its eventful history and its different functions over the centuries: gunpowder factory, sawmill, tannery, etc. You can also admire the neighboring tannery, an 18th century building classified as a historic monument, as well as the Cathedral of Light, the work of Bernard Tirtiaux symbolizing the geographical center of the Europe of the Fifteen.
