2025年末、城とその付属建物の改修に関する都市計画許可が下りました。これは、ワロン地域の特別な遺産として分類されているこの17世紀の宝石に新たな命を吹き込むことを目的とした、大規模な修復プロジェクトとなります。城の主要部分の完全な改修と、ファサードおよび屋根の改善が含まれます。 このプロジェクトには、歴史的保存と一般公開を組み合わせた、大規模なゲストハウスとしての城の運営が含まれます。 2026年7月の私の訪問時、工事が開始されていることは明らかでした。私道沿いには工事用コンテナが置かれ、かなりの活動が見られました。 source: haltinne.be

ハルティンヌ城の敷地は、279.98ヘクタールの農地、森林、牧草地からなります。「ストルヴィオー」という小川といくつかの泉が、4つの池と城の堀に水を供給しています。 建築的な観点から見ると、ハルティンヌ城は例外的な遺産です。その今日の外観は、1600年代半ばに建てられた当時のままです。印象的な塔、狭間、堀は軍事的な機能を連想させますが、これは間違いなく城の農家です。 ファサード、屋根、堀だけでなく、城の壮大な階段もワロン地域の例外的な遺産として保護されています。この石段は幅2メートルの踏み板を持ち、幅の広い手すりも石でできています。この階段の重厚な性格は、四季の寓意を表す小像とは対照的です。 元々はレオポルド2世とシエルノン城のために意図されていた錬鉄製の門、東塔の偽窓、丸い石灰岩の柱で構成される藁葺き屋根の納屋は、一般公開されていない城の他の見どころの一部です。 出典: haltinne.be

This RAVeL follows the old railway line 127, which once ran from Hannut to Huccorgne. The RAVeL winds through the heart of Hesbaye, past grain fields and orchards, and through villages like Villers-le-Peuplier and Avennes, before ending in the Burdinale and Mehaigne Valley Nature Park.

The fortified tower, situated on the edge of the Fosseroule stream and defending the valley, is considered a peripheral bastion of Moha Castle, located a mile and a half away. Agricultural and residential buildings form an enclosed complex, built between the 17th and 19th centuries. In the eastern corner stands an imposing tower, built of limestone rubble, with a square plan (16th century) on a wider, sloping base. This tower originates from an earlier structure, the cellars of which have also been preserved. The openings were modified, and in the 17th century, the tower was extended on the south side with a bay of limestone rubble and brick, reaching the limits of the original structure. To the west of the tower stands a two-story house, perpendicular to the tower, built of limestone rubble, probably dating from the 17th century. Source: bibliotheca.wanze.be

Please note that the second part of the walk is inaccessible due to the quarry expansion. There are no signs indicating the direction of travel.

In Fumal, two historic buildings stand out: Fumal Castle and Saint-Remy Church. Fumal Castle is a medieval fortified manor house, with later extensions, which was once the power base of local lords and still dominates the village skyline. Saint-Remy Church is a Gothic-Renaissance church, with elements from various periods, and has been the religious center of the village for centuries. Together, they are important witnesses to Fumal's history and heritage.

The Château de Fosseroule is actually the Ferme-château de Fosseroule, a historic farmhouse with castle features, located at the confluence of the Mehaigne and Fosseroule rivers, near the famous medieval Château de Moha. It is a former walled farm and residence built in the 17th-19th centuries with an impressive east tower, a beautiful example of local heritage. The Fosseroule, after which the castle is named, flows into the Mehaigne River here. The castle grounds house a rural gîte "La Vieille Brasserie" (separate building) - see https://visitwallonia.be/fr-be/content/gite-rural-huccorgne-la-vieille-brasserie
