Very beautiful park and woods

Superb castle and park

Excellent location for photographing the city. Access is a little complicated, but it's worth it!

One of the few in the area so if you want to sit down or eat lunch this is the place to be.

Since feudal times, in 1143, the fortified castle of Monceau has featured prominently in the history of Charleroi. Belonging to the noble Hamal family, it has suffered many attacks over the centuries as well as many domestic improvements. Louis XIV stayed there in 1665 during the fortification of Charleroi planned in his military campaign against the Queen of Spain. A few years later, the Gavre family inherited the castle and lived there for two centuries; then it was acquired by the Houtard family. In 1936, the town of Monceau bought it. On August 22, 1914, the Château de Monceau-sur-Sambre narrowly escaped the scorched earth policy led by the Germans when 251 houses in the town were ransacked. The domain passed into the hands of the City of Charleroi during the merger of the municipalities. Unfortunately the site had suffered a lot of damage. In 1977, the City of Charleroi, owner of the castle, decided to carry out major restoration work there. http://www.chateaudemonceau.be/

Origins of the château can be traced back to the 17th century, around 1635, when the Honoré family builds a castle on the Sambre river bank. The place had formerly been occupied by a seigneurial manor which was destroyed on 21 July 1554. In 1667, the unfinished Spanish fortress of Charleroy is captured by Louis XIV's troops during the War of Devolution. As the castle in Marchienne was located in neutral territory (under authority of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège), it was used as a hospital for both French and Spanish soldiers. In 1695, the castle is bought by Guillaume de Bilquin, a wealthy forge owner, who completes and enhances it. In 1717, his daughter, Marie-Agnès Bilquin, marries Jean-Louis Cartier, son of the general treasurer of the prince-bishop of Liège. As such, the castle becomes the property of the Cartier de Marchienne family. In 1740, the castle hosts Remacle Le Loup, a famous draftsman from the Liège region. It is severely damaged by a fire in 1932, and bought over by the municipality of Marchienne-au-Pont in 1938, ending more than two centuries of ownership by the Cartier family. Marguerite Yourcenar, a Belgian-born French novelist and essayist, and the first woman elected to the Académie française, is the daughter of Fernande de Cartier de Marchienne, from the Cartier family related to the Cartier castle. She visited the castle in Marchienne-au-Pont in 1956, and mentions her Cartier de Marchienne ancestry and the castle in her 1974 memoir Dear Departed: A Memoir (French: Souvenirs pieux). The Cartier castle was listed on 21 August 1980. It underwent restoration in phases between 1986 and 2001, after having been left in a sorry condition (infested by dry rot).
