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

The Château de Faulx-les-Tombes was originally built in the 10th century as a fortified tower, of which few remains remain of the medieval structure. Around 1340, the castle came into the possession of the Marbaix family. The castle changed hands several times and in 1665 came into the possession of Count Rasse Erasme de Corswaren, whose descendants retained the castle until the French Revolution. The western facade of the current building dates from 1563, but most of the castle was completely rebuilt between 1867 and 1872 in the Romantic style by architect Henri Beyaert, who also designed several famous buildings in Brussels. In 1961, the castle was severely damaged by fire, but it was fully restored to its original style. From 1972 onwards, it was owned by the municipality of Etterbeek and used for purposes including school trips and social tourism. The castle was converted into a hotel and restaurant, but the business eventually went bankrupt in 1988, and the property was put up for sale. Today, the castle is privately owned and not open to the public. It is idyllically situated in a wooded setting along the Samson River.

Beautiful castle, worth a detour

Crupet Castle is located in a magnificent setting. It features several groups of buildings constructed at different times. The castle has been beautifully restored and is well worth a visit.

From this side of the Meuse, you have a beautiful view of the imposing fortress that towers high above the river and the city. The stone ramparts and green slopes of the Citadel stand out sharply against the sky, making for an atmospheric and photogenic picture. An ideal spot to admire the grandeur of the Citadel from a distance and to let the charm of Namur sink in.

Very nice tour with a few tough calf biters. Beautiful views with beautiful authentic villages. Well signposted with cycle junctions and very quiet roads.

As part of the Septennale 2019, the city of Huy commissioned a sculpture that was supposed to radiate hope. This 4-metre-high corten steel sculpture by the French artist Kalbut, who lives in Jehay, is the perfect answer to that.
