As you immediately notice in the picturesque setting of this chapel, the hamlet of Hédenge has retained its rural character. Besides the large farms, this Saint-Feuillen Chapel bears witness to this. The chapel is situated on the highest point of the commune and was once surrounded by a cemetery enclosed by walls and hedges. Today, it is a small park with benches and views to relax with the chapel as a backdrop. The chapel itself is a beautiful Gothic building from the 14th or 15th century with a tower in Gobertange. In the 16th century, a short nave was added, and in the 19th century, a sacristy was added, as evidenced by an inscription. It is thought that this church, formerly called Mont des crânes, may have been an old mother parish, perhaps even older than "l'autre église" (the other church), after which the commune to which Hédenge belongs was named. Saint-Feuillen led an Irish religious community that came to Belgium in the seventh century and played an important role in the Christianization of the southern part of our country. An information board with this and more information is available on-site.

The Château Rose was built by order of Albert-Pierre Stier (1745-1816). In 1776, he bought the seigniory of Orp, as it had been known since the end of the 17th century, when the land of Orp-le-Grand was merged with that of Orp-le-Petit. The pillory of Orp-le-Petit at the front is one of about fifty in Belgium that are listed by the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage. When our country was invaded by France in 1794, the French revolutionaries rushed to abolish the symbols of the Ancien Régime and the pillory was demolished. A few years later, around 1826, Baron Jean-François de Vinck de deux Orp (1774-1827), nephew of the builder of the castle, had the restored elements of the pillory rebuilt on his estate, more specifically in the central part of the meadow below the castle.

beautiful view over Namur and the Meuse

Good terrain for practising riding techniques with different gradients and levels of difficulty. Forest floor, with some roots in places. The MTB single trails for this are located slightly to the left of the actual motocross track in the forest section towards Petit-Hallet.

beautiful village with a very present river

This old fortified castle dominates the town of Namur. The woods that surround it and its small trails are popular with mountain bike enthusiasts.

The charming hamlet of Orp-le-Grand is part of a larger conglomerate. The commune is grouped with Maret and Orp-le-Petit in the commune of Orp-Jauche.
