View of the Aigremont castle perched on its rock.
In the 12th century, Aigremont was a fortress that belonged to the church of Liège. In 1715, Canon Mathias Clercx acquired the lordship, which he enriched by building a castle designed as a pleasure residence. It is a remarkable example of Liège architecture from the beginning of the 18th century. Although its construction was inspired by the French architectural treatises in vogue at the time, it is nevertheless characterized by a very practical design adapted to the needs of its owner. It is the result of the influence of the Louis XIV style and the Mosan tradition. The luxuriant interior contrasts with the severity of the exterior architecture. The lounges are decorated with fine woodwork and murals. The stairwell is composed of a set of trompe-l'oeil frescoes. Finally, the "French-style" gardens invite you to stroll. It has been owned by the Dumont Wauthier company since March 2001. You can visit it at the Flémalle tourist office.
