One of the many impressive sculptures by Count Guy van de Steen that adorn Jehay Castle. The central theme is always women and beetles, often in an amorous composition.

One of Liège's most beautiful castles, originating in the 11th century, completely surrounded by a moat. Striking are the checkerboard facades in limestone and brown sandstone and the pepper-pot-like turrets. Various owners succeeded one another over the centuries. For two centuries (16th-17th century), it was owned by the powerful de Merode family, who gave the castle its current appearance. They sold it to the Van den Steen family in 1720. The last descendant of the family, Count Guy vanden Steen, bequeathed it to the province in 1999. He was a sculptor, among other things, and many of his bronze statues still adorn the gardens. He did, however, incorporate a distinctive symbolism, depicting nude female figures mating with beetles. The 22-hectare estate also features an Italian ornamental garden with water features and bronze statues, a 19th-century vegetable garden with orangeries, a 19th-century icehouse, and many listed trees. The castle also has its own church within the moat on a peninsula. Over the centuries, the owners have amassed numerous curiosities that can be seen in the castle, which is now a provincial property and open to visitors.

In the hamlet of Rogerée is the former courthouse of the municipality of Jehay-Bodegnée. Commemorative plaques from World War I and II, made of natural stone, are incorporated into the facade.

The church of Saint-Martin in Seraing-le-Château was built in the 16th and 17th centuries and consists of a single nave of 3 bays, extended by a choir with stucco and decorated with a dove of the Holy Spirit. The church contains a recumbent grave from 1585, that of Jean-Guillaume de La Marck, nephew of Guillaume de La Marck. In front of the church you will find a war memorial and in the cemetery around the church there are (remains of) various old graves and war graves. Also note the large statue of Mary on the other side of the road. Source: https://www.egliseinfo.be/lieu/45/seraing-le-chateau/saint-martin

In 1428, the castle was confiscated by the Prince-Bishop of Wathieu Datin and passed successively to the Gossuin de Beine, de Towin and de Sart families. In 1537, Jehan Helman de Sart, married to Marguerite de la Falloise, inherited the property and undertook the construction of a new castle. In 1720, Lambert van den Steen acquired the castle. He was lord of the manor of Saive in Haspengouw and advisor to the Prince-Bishop. This family gave the building the splendor that we can admire today.
