The history of Tavigny Castle in Louis XVIII style dates back to the Middle Ages. Originally it was a simple defensive tower with sides of 10 meters wide. Over the years, a rampart, rounded towers and living quarters were added. In the 18th century it was transformed into a pleasure company. At the beginning of the 19th century it served as the headquarters for those responsible for the Meuse-Moesel Canal. Today it is privately owned.

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.

The atypical and picturesque village of Steinbach is quite remarkable in my eyes. Steinbach literally means “Stream of stones” Located on the eastern side of the Ourthe, its lush natural landscapes, as well as its pretty woods, will delight all walkers. For several centuries Steinbach was the center of the Houffalize region of feudal law exercised by the Lords to dispense justice. The region, and more particularly its village, is an ideal place to enjoy the Belgian Ardennes. Some buildings are remarkable, some of which are classified as heritage.
