Augustinian Abbey on the Meuse River, whose origins date back to 1075. The complex features an impressive corner tower, gateway, abbey church, dovecote, watermill, brewery, and other outbuildings. Later, it also housed a tax collection house and the abbot's palace. Today, it's a large school complex that can be very busy on a Wednesday afternoon.

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.

lovely break. worth it to eat and drink.

A perfect spot to take a break and have a drink. The food is delicious. You can fill your water bottle from a tap on their terrace. More info at https://www.wilderen-statie.be/brasserie-de-statie/ Although I've passed by here many times before, I stopped for the first time today. I was so pleasantly surprised that I'm now making it my regular stop/refueling point for my rides to St. Truiden.

dates from 1754

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.

This estate was owned by the Fastré de la Neuville family, better known as Longchamps, in the mid-15th century. A first castle, the date of construction of which is unknown but of which some remains remain, remained in the Longchamps family until 1710 when Marie-Françoise de Longchamps, wife of Charles Jean-Baptiste de Fabritius, then bequeathed the property to her daughter Marie-Catherine Françoise de Fabritius. After she married Waltère de Sélys, the estate passed to the barons of Sélys-Longchamps 1 . The castle was built for Michel-Laurent de Sélys ( 1759 - 1837 ), who in 1795 , the year of the reunification of the principality of Liège with France , was president of the new municipal council of Liège and in 1800 mayor under the consulate . Michel Laurent de Sélys Longchamps was married to Marie Denise Gandolphe, born in Paris on 19 March 1777 and died at the Château de Longchamps under the Second Empire, on 28 October 1857. Marie Denise was the daughter of Mathieu Joseph Gandolphe and Denise Jacqueline d'Aran des Castans. Michel-Laurent de Sélys-Longchamps asked the Parisian architect Aimé Dubois for plans for a new castle. The project was entrusted to the Liège entrepreneur Duckers and the Parisian sculptor Mongin. The construction of the castle was completed in 1810. During the emperor's reign, magnificent parties were held there. Source: Wikipedia
