The Mellier forges are a historic site in Belgium which highlights the industrial heritage of the region. They were built in 1617 by François de Gorzée and Pierre Goens, who wanted to exploit the region's natural resources: water, wood and iron ore. Forges produced high-quality metal products until the early 19th century, when they could not compete with new technologies in the coal and coke industries. The site was then used as a sawmill until the 20th century, when it was abandoned and left to fall into disrepair. Today, the Mellier forges are a protected monument and part of Wallonia's exceptional heritage. You can visit the remains of the buildings, such as the coal hall, lime kilns, dam bridge and ore hall, and learn about the history and techniques of the metalworkers. The site is also surrounded by a beautiful forest, where you can hike along the Mellier River.

Habay-la-Neuve was an important center for forges in the 18th century. Habay and the neighboring municipalities have kept romantic castles and ponds which follow one another along the Rulles. This combination of water and forest characterizes this region where the savagery of a still intact nature rubs shoulders with the cordial welcome of its inhabitants. The Château du Pont d'Oye, cultural meeting centre, the tomb of the writer and statesman Pierre Nothomb, the chapel of Notre-Dame de Grâces, the church of Saint-Nicolas, the chapel of Bonhomme, the forest of 'Anlier with an area of 5,500 ha, the Forge du Prince waterfall... a few small wonders to see among many others.

Post is a Belgian village located in the municipality of Attert in the province of Luxembourg and the Walloon Region. It is located on the western edge of the N4 national road. The official language is French, but the vernacular is Luxembourgish. The patron saint of the church is Saint Michael.

This chapel (16th century) is located at the western gates of the village, at the crossroads linking Heinstert and Post. It was the privileged place for the creation of tales and legends.

The SAINT-WILLIBRORD church in VANCE is one of the oldest churches in the region. It is located on a mound and was formerly surrounded by a cemetery. The modernization of the roads has removed this environment and moreover somewhat disturbs the foundations of the building which is currently under constant surveillance because it could open by the pressure of the walls. In a note, Henri Jacob noted that "examination of the masonry of the tower indicates 3 stages. The base is clearly Carolingian with the layout of the materials in staggered rows which was already the rule in the imperial period of Rome. The second part which goes from the base to the bells is made of large rubble stones, then comes the last more modern part built with hydraulic lime from Vance". The high altar and the side altars are said to have been made at the Abbey of Orval. The woodwork dates from the time of the reconstruction, around 1750. The painting of the high altar was painted in 1865 by Vandekerkove, Prix de Rome. That of the altar of St-Hubert is a painting by Edouard Franquinet, painter from Arlon. There are still two other paintings, one of the Holy Family and one of Perpetual Help. You can admire a 14th century Gothic Virgin in sculpted and polychromed stone as well as a beautiful 19th century Stations of the Cross (painted in 1896 by Alexandre Alaux-Bakès). Also noteworthy in the church, a statue of Saint Willibrord in oak dating from the 17th century, as well as a rather curious statue of Saint Renelde represented as a little peasant girl from the 18th century, dressed in her Sunday best and wearing a large hat. Also worth seeing in the church is the bronze basin of the baptistery placed near the pulpit of truth and which, according to H.Jacob, would be of Roman origin and would have been the "oenochae" or vase to contain the wine of a Roman villa. It would have subsequently been provided with feet. Two chronograms, one engraved in the choir, the other on one of the pillars of the nave, give the year of the reconstruction and designate those who assumed the task. During the reconstruction of the church, the masonry contractor had re-established a lime kiln on the premises in the mound which bears the church, on the north-west side. The vestiges were discovered during transformations which were undertaken when the old cemetery which surrounded the church was removed. All the interior paintings of the church were restored around 1985.
