You can walk all the way around the ramparts. We found it unique and impressive. The museum was also interesting.

In 1577, Henri le Clercq built a powder mill on the banks of the Ton in the lower town of Virton, which became a sawmill a hundred years later. In 1797, the buildings were redeveloped by the new owners, a fact clearly reflected in the first land registry of the town of Virton, dated 1850. In 1875, the sawmill was converted into a bark mill and tannery. In 1928, these buildings were purchased by Jean Naisse. He modernized the equipment to operate a sawmill that remained in operation until 1970. The small building to the east has preserved its mill and waterwheel from the early 19th century. The large western building houses the old tannery. It is recognizable by the nine rectangular openings that were necessary for drying the hides. In 1930, a traditional living area of the same size was added to form the current building. All buildings and the surrounding area have been listed as historic monuments since November 9, 1990.

Built in the 14th century, the Avioth Basilica is distinguished by its rich Gothic-style decorations. It is also called the Cathedral of the Fields because of its natural setting.

Magnificent citadel to visit absolutely!

On the edge of a wooded massif, where the climate is favorable for growing wine, lies Torgny, Belgium's southernmost village. The houses here, built of yellow sandstone with Roman roof tiles, are striking, lending a Mediterranean flair. A truly beautiful sight. No wonder this place is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia.

The remains of Montquintin Castle stand on a ridge overlooking the Ton valley. The once feudal castle was built on the orders of Louis II, Count of Chiny. After a turbulent history, the castle fell victim to a fire in 1869. Since then, it has stood as a ruin high above the Ton river valley.

PLEASE NOTE: on this - beautiful - circuit, after the village of Alondrelle, the path as mentioned on this circuit has become impassable between the meadows. If you go further, from the entrance to the woods towards Torgny, the path is not very suitable for vehicles or even almost impassable by bike if it has rained a lot! A mountain bike is essential!

The ruins of this ancient feudal castle are impressive. They dominate the Ton valley and are currently the subject of a program of archaeological excavations.
