Augustinian Abbey on the Meuse River, whose origins date back to 1075. The complex features an impressive corner tower, gateway, abbey church, dovecote, watermill, brewery, and other outbuildings. Later, it also housed a tax collection house and the abbot's palace. Today, it's a large school complex that can be very busy on a Wednesday afternoon.

Today, the park is extremely overgrown, overgrown, and covered with car wrecks – we counted about twenty – and most of the park's trees are overgrown or have even become picturesque ruins that overhang the ponds or block the walking path. Solitary trees no longer stand alone; new growth plagues the entire park, disrupting the large lawn and the sightlines. However, careful clearing, a few mowings, and judicious new plantings of trees and flowering shrubs would suffice to restore the structure to its legibility and offer captivating and varied views.

1274: Heers Castle is first mentioned in a historical document. A century later, it is plundered and burned by the troops of Charles the Bold. The current castle is a result of reconstruction and dates from around 1500. The following centuries continued to be ravaged by war: the Dutch, French, and Germans all made their appearances. The De Rivière family, who had owned the castle since the 14th century, was declared bankrupt in 1757. From 1859 onward, the castle came into the possession of the Desmaisières family, who lived and enjoyed it lavishly... until the costs became too high. In the 21st century, the castle fell into complete disrepair due to conflict and lack of funds. Local volunteers launched a rescue initiative. Today, many partners are working on a new future for this impressive place steeped in history.

The castle of Otrange, which belonged to the de Liberts, the Lords of Otrange, at the end of the Old Regime, suffered at the hands of Republican troops, who stayed there several times and built a hospital there in 1794. The castle remained unoccupied until at least 1792 and 1835. The descendants of Berthold-Louis de Libert sold the property at the beginning of the 19th century to the Grisard family, Liège industrialists active in the iron trade and cannon manufacture. It passed to the widow of Servais Grisard, née Jeanne-Hélène-Victoire Grisar, who bequeathed it to her nephew, Pierre Alexandre de Blochouse (1773-1849), the mayor of Otrange. He was married to Marie-Josèphe Magnée de Hornes (de Bommershov). Then came his son, Marcel Alexandre (Liège 1797 - Grammont 1853), who had married Adélaide du Bois of Basècles, who died in Ixelles in 1880 but was buried in Otrange. On July 20, 1874, the widow Marcel-Alexandre de Blochouse and her children transferred the property by family agreement to Émile Henri Naveau, husband of Louise Demarteau, who died in Otrange in 1907. The château passed by inheritance to Caroline Naveau, daughter of Émile, who married Nicolas Breuls; then to her daughter Juliette Breuls, wife of Knight Georges de Schaetzen; and finally to the latter's son, Knight Jean de Schaetzen van Brienen (died 2007), who married Sabine de Neve de Roden, the current occupant of the castle.

It is a building dating from 1719 to the end of the 18th century, with a core dating back to the 16th century. The tower of the old church is integrated into the castle. Nature and

Beautiful hill. Probably the best choice for traveling from the Meuse Valley to the Ourthe-Amblève Valleys. Tree-lined trail, good road condition, and very little traffic.

Haneffe also commemorates the two official world wars and their impact on the municipality and the people who lost their lives. The monument that was erected for this purpose, together with the names of the victims, can be found on the central square, just at the exit of the very small village park where you can relax for a while.
