石畳の通りの前に美しい城

Nice little moated castle.

Located in the province of Hainaut, the Château de Thoricourt is an elegant example of 18th-century neoclassical architecture, built by Count Henri-Gabriel de la Barre d'Erquelinnes. This imposing castle with its symmetrical facade and rustic yet refined appearance is set amidst extensive gardens, charming ponds and avenues lined with old trees. The interior, normally closed to the public, is renowned for its beautiful rococo details and original decorations, which reflect the grandeur of the past. For lovers of heritage and nature, the castle and the surrounding park offer a special place to go back in time and enjoy serene beauty.

The Château de l'Estriverie is an imposing historic residence dating back to the 13th century. Initially a fortified house surrounded by a moat, the current castle was rebuilt in 1630 by the Cottrel family. It is built of brick, limestone and sandstone, with slate roofs and a main courtyard accessible by a stone bridge. Classified as a historic monument in 1976, the site retains its turrets and outbuildings, as well as a chapel dedicated to Saint-Joseph. Today, the castle is still inhabited by the family of Yve de Bavay.

Ormeignies Castle, located in the village of the same name in Wallonia, is a historic residence built in the mid-19th century by Édouard de Rouillé. Initially an 18th century manor house, it was rebuilt after a fire in 1866 by his son Adhémar, in a neoclassical style by the architect Désiré Limbourg. The castle and its estate were sold in 1934 and dismantled shortly after. Today, only a side wall with a staircase remains, visible from the public road.

This fortified house was built on the very site of the 13th century feudal castle. It took its final form in the 17th century.

The oldest fountain in Beloeil dates from 1824. Neo-classical style. At the top of the pillar, a cartouche bears the following inscription: "Princeps Henricus Oriens Populo Elargitur Unsam XVIMA octobris". This means that the pump was opened to the public on the occasion of the birth of Prince Henri de Ligne on October 16, 1824.
