The history of Mirwart Castle is certainly impressive. The roots of the fortress go back to the 8th century. With an extraordinary list of high-ranking owners, the domain has played its part throughout the history of the Low Countries. A recurring theme in the history of the castle is its relationship with the powerful abbey of Saint-Hubert, with which it has had conflicts over the centuries.

Resteigne Castle is a sturdy 18th-century castle located near the picturesque bridge over the Lesse River. It has a long and rich history, dating back to the 12th century, when it belonged to the Loraine family.

In the 13th century, the estate was a simple fortified house surrounded by swamps. It is undoubtedly the strategic value of the place which also encouraged Lord Jean d'Ochain and his descendants to replace the fortified house with a powerful keep surrounded by a double row of moats fed by the Hedrea. In any case, the defensive system seems to have been effective since the Ochain family remained the owner of the castle until it was sold to Henri de Waha in 1621. During the 17th century, the keep gradually lost its defensive role. The various successive owners added buildings and transformed it into a castle. In the 19th century, during a more radical restoration campaign, the keep was covered with a roof; the castle does not lose too much of its feudal character. It was owned, between 1840 and 1978, by the Knights of Sauvage Vercour family.

This tourist capital in the north of the province of Luxembourg is tucked away in a bend of the Ourthe. This hilly landscape of dense forests has long attracted generals and castle builders. The first 'tourists' were the Celts, followed by the Romans, the Counts of Namur, the Dukes of Luxembourg, the Burgundians, the Austrians, Emperor Charles and Philip II. Then came Louis XIV, who thought the castle looked like nothing. He quickly had it demolished and asked a student of Vauban to build a new version. In December 1944, the city was largely destroyed during the Battle of the Bulge, but then bravely rebuilt.
