Pont Roi Baudouin Pontia(1294년에서 1303년 사이에 건설된 최초의 석조 다리인 Huy의 네 가지 경이로움 중 하나)의 마지막 후계자인 이 다리는 1956년 6월 Baudouin 국왕 폐하께서 참석하신 가운데 개관했습니다. 단순한 선과 현지 석재로 된 세 개의 아치로 이루어진 이 다리는 장식이 거의 없습니다. 따라서 요새와 성당이 지배하는 풍경 속에 조용히 자리 잡고 있습니다. 다리 위(왼쪽 제방)에는 Pierre Pétry가 1966년에 제작한 조각 그룹인 “시민들”이 있습니다. 이 그룹은 “1686”이라는 연도가 새겨진 돌 위에 있습니다. 출처 https://www.visithuy.be/tourisme/ponts-de-huy

18세기에 Château à l'Horloge가 건설될 당시에는 레바논 삼나무, 색깔 있는 단풍나무, 톱니 모양 너도밤나무와 같은 희귀 수종이 있는 아름다운 공원 안에 숨겨져 있었습니다. 1852년부터 이 성에는 영국 엔지니어 Young이 거주했는데, 그는 최초의 리에주-나뮈르 철도 건설에 참여했습니다. 성은 붉은 벽돌로 지어졌으며, 기초와 창틀과 같은 색상입니다. 중앙 구획은 더 넓고 약간 돌출되어 있으며, 19세기 발코니로 장식되어 있고 5개의 계단으로 이루어진 넓은 계단이 앞에 있습니다. 중앙 구획 위에는 두 명의 푸티(이탈리아 회화에서 큐피드를 묘사하는 어린 소년)와 납으로 된 꽃 바구니가 받치고 있는 특이한 시계가 걸려 있습니다. 19세기에는 3층짜리 팔각형 탑이 추가되었으며, 팔각형 석판 지붕과 나무 시계탑으로 덮여 있습니다. 이 부동산에는 최근에 지어진 본관과 더 오래된 농업 부속 건물(18세기)이 있는 농장도 포함됩니다. 이 건물은 1955년에 Bas-Oha 시에 의해 매입되었으며, 1953년부터 1977년까지 시청으로 사용되었습니다. 그 후, 폐쇄되기 전까지 한동안 시립 학교가 있었습니다. 성은 이후 쇠퇴했습니다. 1988년부터 왈롱 지역과 Electrabel SA의 자금 지원 덕분에 문화 센터, 도서관, 미디어 센터로 개조되었습니다. 또한 Electrabel 회의가 열리고 Wanze 지역의 결혼식이 열리는 큰 홀도 있습니다. 개조 작업 중 작업자들은 시계 위 항아리에서 양피지가 들어 있는 작은 병을 발견했습니다. 전통을 지키기 위해 작업자들은 새 시계를 설치하기 전에 항아리에 텍스트 조각을 넣고 50프랑짜리 동전 두 개를 추가했습니다. 출처: bas-oha.be

A really nice place to have a drink after your walk (open Wednesday and Sunday)

Excavations are conducted year-round at Moha Castle, making it unique in Belgium. When I visited, two archaeologists were uncovering a wall that runs beneath the visible castle and likely dates back to the 12th century.

The castle is free to visit. At the foot of the rock, there's a visitor center where you can pick up a badge to open the gate. For €4, you can also get a brochure with information about the most important points. The castle is only open to visitors starting in April, but the friendly man at the visitor center let me in on February 27th... as far as you can even call it "inside" at this ruin ;-)

Since 1965, the Oteppe castle and its surrounding estate (65 ha) have been run as a holiday centre ("L'Hirondelle") with a hotel, campsite, holiday chalets and bungalows, swimming pools, playground and fishing ponds; as a result, the village's population has almost doubled during the summer months.

The exact origins of the medieval County of Moha remain unknown. It is likely that the county was formed during the fragmentation of the Carolingian Empire and the Hesbaye region at the end of the 9th century. The first known count, Albert of Moha, is mentioned in a document dated 1026 or 1028. The first defensive stone walls also date from the first half of the 11th century. Having no male heir, Albert of Moha married his daughter to Henry I of Dasbourg around 1050, thus linking the county's destiny to that of this powerful family of Alsatian origin. Initially, it is highly unlikely that the Counts of Dasbourg regularly resided in Moha, entrusting the county's administration to trusted men and a small garrison. However, the situation changed with Hugh II (1130-1180) and his son Albert II (d. 1212), who decided to become more involved in the region's politics. Albert II, in particular, chose to align his interests with those of his nephew, Duke Henry I of Brabant, whose policies he would follow until the end of the 12th century. In 1204, Count Albert III, having lost hope of having a son, chose the Prince-Bishop of Liège as his heir. But the late birth of his daughter Gertrude would jeopardize these agreements. Quickly betrothed to Thibaut of Lorraine, who died in 1219, she then married Thibaut of Champagne, who repudiated her, and subsequently Simon of Linange. At 19, she died childless. On March 19, 1225, the Prince-Bishop of Liège, Hugues de Pierrepont, took possession of Moha. Under the Prince-Bishops, Moha became a prison for political prisoners and a fortification tasked with controlling the city of Huy and blockading merchants. This policy was deeply unpopular and led to reprisals: the people of Huy besieged Moha in 1255. The fortress of Moha was considered impregnable. It was therefore through trickery that the people of Huy, taking advantage of a request for a truce, seized the castle on May 6, 1376. After the attack on the castle, the site's history is largely unknown. Mass is still celebrated twice a year in the castle chapel. During the 18th century, the ruins served as a refuge for a hermit. The castle's stones were gradually plundered, notably to build the surrounding houses. In 1889, the ruins of the castle were purchased by the Belgian state. Source: https://chateaumoha.be/histoire

The "Rocher du Château de Moha" is a limestone outcrop rising from the Mehaigne valley. It was a strategically important site in the Middle Ages, when more castles were built on rocks. This made the site difficult to besiege, and it was well-placed as a control point over the valley. The rock is very recognizable in the landscape. The ruins on the rock are still clearly visible, and the medieval structures are still easily recognizable.
