Ruins of Montaigle © Aurélie Ducroze Montaigle, an exceptional monumental site in Wallonia, is situated on a rocky spur in a romantic setting whose magic transports you back to the time of the knights. A visit to the ruins of this imposing fortress, once a count's residence (14th century), and to the archaeological museum will open a window onto an extraordinarily rich medieval world. In the 100 m² museum, the history of the site and the monument is told through a thematic and chronological exhibition of objects discovered on site (crossbow bolts, cannonballs, tools, pieces of crockery, medals, coins, stained glass, paving stones, slates, jewelry, etc.). The architecture of the fortress and the challenges of saving a threatened monument are also discussed.

The Montaigle rock formations include: • A limestone massif on which the medieval ruins lie. • Prehistoric caves that bear witness to thousands of years of human occupation. • Historically significant finds that have contributed to our understanding of the Aurignacian culture. • Unique cliffs and boulders with unusual shapes, which are currently protected and where climbing is prohibited.
