Information

The Château de Jehay, listed as an exceptional heritage site in Wallonia, whose interior is closed for work, welcomes you to the outbuildings of the estate, the gardens and the vegetable garden.

Exhibitions as well as a virtual reality animation are proposed to you.

You will thus discover the place and its history through three rooms:

"The cabinet of curiosities": The provincial collection of Jehay is that of a Belgian aristocrat, Count Guy van den Steen, keen on history and art, who gathered in one place particular objects, sometimes strange, rare, exceptional or nondescript. A veritable cabinet of curiosities.

"(Extra)ordinary Birds": This exhibition tells stories about a change of perspective on beings that are both fascinating and familiar: birds.

"Amazing paintings!" : Behind the curtain, in an intimate and warm space, a selection of the most astonishing paintings from the Château de Jehay collection awaits the visitor.

The park shelters remarkable trees, horticultural and fruit wealth of our region.

Several events are organized there.
Yoga classes in the heart of the vegetable garden, bike rides from the castle, ... but also more important events among which we will mention the traditional Witches' Night!
