The current castle is very recent. It was built in 1960 at the request of the owners, the Otreppe de Bouvette family, based on plans by architect Emile Godin. The previous castle was severely damaged in both world wars and fell into disrepair.

The "Conques" viaduct is located 1 km from the village center of Herbeumont. Construction of the viaduct began in 1902 by the Chagnaud and Cox companies. The viaduct was the first completed structure for railway line 163a. It took two years to build and is said to have used 9 million bricks. The brick construction of graceful, high arches, the central one reaching almost 40 meters above the Semois, is truly impressive. Although construction was completed in 1904, it would be another 10 years before the first trains (under German occupation) rolled over the viaduct! (Trails and hikes)

The medieval ruins of Herbeumont Castle, perched on a rocky ridge overlooking the village and the Semois River, offer many remarkable views of the meandering river. The fortress's foundation stones were laid in 1268 by Jehan de Rochefort, son of the House of Walcourt. Over the centuries, the castle was inhabited by various families: the House of Orgeo, the House of la Marck-Rochefort, the House of Stolberg, and the House of Löwestein. The natural steepness of the mountain made the castle inaccessible from three sides for a long time. In the 15th century, Herbeumont's walls were reinforced with a sturdy round tower at each southern end. Unfortunately, this did not prevent the castle from being destroyed by French troops on August 21, 1657. (Visit Wallonia)

Magnificent estate of 1721 hectares Located north of Lacuisine and west of Chiny, it belongs to the CPAS of the city of Mons, which inherited it in 1887. This sublime estate includes 1,500 hectares of forests and four artificial ponds fed by several streams, including the Tamij-Austria, a tributary of the Semois. The ponds of the Epioux are the last witnesses of the important metallurgical past of our region. Indeed, for more than three centuries, the estate experienced intense metallurgical activity. Since the end of this industrial activity, the only profitable economic activity has been that of forest production. Today, the large forest of the Epioux is a magnificent forest. Several beautiful walks cross the estate.
