The patronage of this church, "Visitation of Mary," refers to one of the many feast days in honor of the Virgin Mary. However, the term "Visitation"—which carries negative connotations in our modern understanding—refers in the Bible to Mary's visit to her relative Elizabeth. Elizabeth was married to Zechariah, and the marriage remained childless, which was a social stigma at the time. Despite her advanced age, she became pregnant, a fact revealed to Mary by the Archangel Gabriel, who delivered the message that she herself would give birth to Jesus, the Son of God. Elizabeth and Zechariah's son, John, also known as "the Baptist," is considered the forerunner of Jesus Christ.

Fairytale-like castle, perhaps the most beautiful in our small country.

Very pleasant to clear your head.

The current town hall was first occupied in 1763. The impressive building had previously belonged to the Prince-Bishops, who were forced to sell it due to debt. The most interesting facade (first half of the 17th century) is the one facing the Meuse River, which still retains its defensive features. Since 2014, the town hall's inner courtyard has housed the "Clepsydra of Monsieur Sax." This glasswork was created by master glassmaker Bernard Tirtiaux to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the saxophone's inventor.

Beautiful cliffs on the Meuse River opposite Freÿr Castle. The walk along the narrow paved path along the banks of the Meuse River below the overhanging cliff is quite adventurous. There's a beautiful vantage point on the cliff with a beautiful view of the Meuse and Freÿr Castle.

Dinant is a beautiful little town with a rich history and is well worth a stop.

Very pretty along the water
