이 성은 북서쪽 모퉁이 탑이 있는 U자형 건물로, 이전의 돈존입니다. 측면 날개에는 아직도 17세기 계단식 박공이 남아 있습니다. 외관은 1763년의 개조에 큰 영향을 받았으며, 내부 또한 그 시대의 것입니다. 로코코 양식의 석고 장식, 석고 천장, 몇 개의 벽난로를 볼 수 있습니다. 추기경이었던 Jean Walther de Sluse에게 헌정된 추기경의 방은 흥미로운데, 그의 문장이 있습니다. 또한 리에주 출신 Cockler에게 기인한 받침대 위의 돌로 된 꽃병도 묘사되어 있습니다. 외부 안뜰에서는 남쪽 날개만 남아 있습니다. 또한, 약 1700년경의 문 건물에는 두 개의 정사각형 벽돌 탑이 있습니다. 이 탑들은 양파 모양의 지붕으로 덮여 있으며, 꼭대기에는 랜턴이 있습니다. 교회 근처에 위치한 이 성은 공원으로 둘러싸여 있습니다. @https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasteel_van_Hoepertingen

Augustinian Abbey on the Meuse River, whose origins date back to 1075. The complex features an impressive corner tower, gateway, abbey church, dovecote, watermill, brewery, and other outbuildings. Later, it also housed a tax collection house and the abbot's palace. Today, it's a large school complex that can be very busy on a Wednesday afternoon.

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.

This fortified dovecote, built in 1625 by the Mollin-Monjoye couple, served as a small fort intended to protect the local population during the passage of troops. Source: Information board on site.

Jadoul Farm in Vorsen is a historic square farm, mentioned as early as 1469. Originally owned by Susteren Abbey, it was part of the County of Loon, with a rich history of guardians such as the Van Vorsen, Van Berlo, Van Gavere, and the Count of Arenberg families. This protected monument underwent renovations, including one in 1788, and is now a working fruit farm (apple, pear, cherry) with modern holiday homes, combining tourism with agriculture and history, including covered wagon tours of the nearby tumuli.

It's beautiful what they've done here with this piece of history.
