カステール・テル・ホーフェは、ヘールスのなだらかな丘陵地帯にひっそりと佇む、エレガントで歴史的な城館です。現在の建物は、主に18世紀の特徴を帯びており、控えめな壮大さを醸し出しています。シンメトリーなファサード、静かな中庭、そして周囲の緑豊かな景観が、この地域における魅力的なランドマークとなっています。

A castle built as a country retreat between 1717 and 1727 in the Louis XIVth style, then popular in the Meuse Valley, belonged to the Church of Liège. A fortress existed on the same site as early as 900. The estate also features a French-style garden with corner towers, and adjacent to the castle is the limestone castle farm. Now privately owned and in need of renovation.

Terhove Castle is located on the east side of Bommershoven, a sub-municipality of Borgloon in the Belgian province of Limburg. The castle is located on the edge of the Mombeek. Originally, a Roman villa was located here. In the Middle Ages, a provostry of the Abbey of Corbie was located here, from where the abbey goods in the area were governed.

The castle domain Ter Hove is located on the eastern border of the municipality of Bommershoven on the western bank of the Mombeek. Originally, it was a Gallo-Roman domain that was taken over by the Franks and was located immediately south of the Roman road. The current building complex is a closed manor farm with a house converted into a castle wing, a monumentally converted tenant's house, barns and stables. The domain is characterized by a park and orchards and is accessible from various directions via avenues. The protection of the castle as a monument was declared null and void by judgment of the Council of State, number 202.329, on March 25, 2010.

Aigremont Castle is a private castle owned by the Dumont Wauthier company. The Flémalle Tourist Office offers guided tours between April and October. Please visit the website www.flemalle.be for upcoming dates.

There is the possibility of going for some very nice walks but be careful, you must stay on the authorized paths.

According to legend, the name Aigremont was always closely linked to that of Duke Beuve of Aigremont. According to De Schone Historie by knight Malegijs, Beuve was the great-grandfather of the four Heemskinderen, who opposed Charlemagne. The history of Aigremont includes many well-known figures. One of them is the infamous Willem van der Marck, who turned against the prince-bishops of Liège and entrenched himself in Aigremont, but had to surrender to the then prince-bishop in 1474. Ten years later, Willem van der Marck was beheaded in Maastricht. In 1715, canon and landowner of the Liège cathedral, Mathias Clercx, bought Aigremont, which had been rebuilt in the 16th century on the ruins of an old fortification. His family was among the richest in the country. The building was in poor condition, and Mathias Clercx decided to build a new castle on an adjacent site. It became a particularly elegant residence according to the typical classical regulations of that time.

After watching a football match at Awirs, I went back up towards Trixhes and saw the pleasure castle on my way.
