Since 1965, the Oteppe castle and its surrounding estate (65 ha) have been run as a holiday centre ("L'Hirondelle") with a hotel, campsite, holiday chalets and bungalows, swimming pools, playground and fishing ponds; as a result, the village's population has almost doubled during the summer months.

The church of Celles is probably the only church in Belgium dedicated to Saint Madelberta. To be honest: I had never heard of this saint before. Saint Madelberta was a Merovingian noblewoman who succeeded her deceased sister Aldetrudis as abbess of Maubeuge in 696. Madelberta was venerated quite soon after her death. It is not impossible that the convoy that brought her relics to Liège at the beginning of the 8th century stopped in Celles; after all, Celles was close to the Roman road that led from Bavay to Cologne. I was lucky enough to have a look inside the church. The friendly lady who let me in proudly pointed out the glass cabinet at the front right of the church; it contained relics of various saints (but not of Saint Madelberta?)

This chapel of Our Lady was consecrated on 6 October 1946 in gratitude for the protection during the Second World War and as a tribute to Baroness Marie Dutontbare de Fumal (1854-1939).

The Saint Martin's Church is a building that dates from the 16th century, but was thoroughly renovated in 1884 by the Liège architect Edmond Jamar (1853-1929). He did not really change the external volume, but rebuilt it in a neo-Gothic style. The fact that the church is located within a castle enclosure points to a very old origin. The chapel of a Merovingian villa probably once stood on this site. During the expansion work on the cemetery in 1968, two Merovingian graves from the 7th century were discovered. One contained the skeleton of a young girl, and the other contained the remains of a child. The church was severely damaged at the end of the 17th century by the French armies that had set up camp in Fumal. The church was restored several times in the 18th century.
