Beautiful Chapel, unfortunately the crypt is closed

Just outside the village center of Widooie, on Kasteelweg, lies the beautifully preserved Widooie Castle: a secluded castle farm with deep historical roots. Four wings surrounding a rectangular courtyard form a harmonious whole, with marlstone bands, ornate wall anchors, and a stately gate dating from 1662 where the coat of arms of Richard Vaes still proudly stands. The corner tower, the classically renovated residential wing, and the 17th-century barns together tell the story of a place where generations have come and gone for centuries.

The current tower was rebuilt in 1580 and 1734, extended by a nave and a choir from the sixteenth century and partially restored in 1898 by the Liège architect Hubert Froment

The castle dates back to the 18th century and was extensively renovated in the 19th century. It was long inhabited by the Brabant de Limont family. In 1993, it became a hotel and a venue for parties and meetings.

The chapel was built in the Baroque style with a Romanesque core. It has a hexagonal shape with a rectangular sacristy at the rear façade. The building is constructed of brick and also clad with marlstone for the corner blocks. The building also has two brick pilasters in the façade, an oval-round oculus, and an arched portal in a rectangular profiled limestone frame with a drip molding and a keystone.
