Poilvacheの遺跡は、私たちの時代の最初の世紀にはすでに侵略してくる野蛮人に対する砦として使用されていた可能性があります。この要塞は1228年には確実に存在しており、当時、周囲を囲む深い緑の森のおかげで、「chastiau d'émeraude」（エメラルド城）という詩的な名前で記録に登場しました。年月を経て、名前はMéraudeに短縮され、最終的に（13世紀後半に）やや奇妙な名前であるPoilvache（牛の毛）となりました。この名前は、敵が生きている牛の群れの中に牛の皮をかぶって隠れ、要塞に侵入するという戦術に由来する可能性があります。 その歴史の絶頂期において、Poilvacheは58の封建地区に対する司法権を持ち、さらに鋳造権を持つ造幣局も有していました。1421年、ブルゴーニュ公フィリップ善良公は、当時Poilvacheが属していたナミュール伯領を購入しました。Poilvacheは1430年に、ディナン、ユイ、リエージュからの陰謀家の一団によって破壊されました。

The castle was built around 1800 by the Lord of Walzin, a district of Dinant. At that time, it was called "Château de la Lesse" and consisted of a main building and a two-story tower. Lady Marie-Anne Damsel de Colnet was the castle's first resident. It then passed into the possession of Ferdinand Louis de Villers-Masbourg, who passed it on to his three children in 1844. In 1868, the Villers-Masbourg family sold the castle to Marguerite Offerman, the wife of Frédéric Guillaume Brugmann. This Brussels banker had already become the owner of the famous Château de Walzin, perched on a rock above the Lesse River, in 1850. Castel Pont-à-Lesse subsequently fell into very poor condition, so his son, Alfred Maurice Brugmann, had it completely rebuilt over many years. In 1914, his grandson, Frédéric Brugmann de Walzin, extensively renovated the castle again, adding a third floor. He renamed it "Kasteel van Pont-à-Lesse." In 1948, the castle was sold and converted into a holiday resort. Since then, it has been a renowned three-star hotel. Source: https://casteldepontalesse.be/en/home/history

The Priory of Anseremme originated from a farm belonging to the Abbey of Saint-Hubert, founded in the early 9th century and remodeled in the 16th and 17th centuries. The buildings of Le Prieuré were used by the abbey. Today, the premises are available for rent for weddings and celebrations.

We were very rudely approached and chased off the property as we were leaving. The access situation was unclear to us; all the gates were wide open and inviting. It wasn't clear to us that it was private property; it felt very public. Under no circumstances should we enter. The owner is insulted and argues, and lacks empathy and humanity!

Not entirely privately owned, but it is rented out to wedding parties. Depending on the party, you'll be evicted from the premises in a more or less unfriendly manner.

Beautiful view and nice route to walk here
