Information

Situated on a rock 60 meters above the valley of the Hoyoux river, the castle offers a magnificent view over the surrounding nature reserve of 450 hectares.

The castle was the house of several famous owners, among them the Count de Marchin to whom it owes its present appearance. It was also the residence of Maximilian-Henry of Bavaria, Prince Bishop of Liège, the Cardinal von Fürstenberg and the families de Montmorency, Lamarche and Braconier. Since 1941 it belongs to VIVAQUA.

Remarkable 17th century stuccowork decorates the ceilings while the walls are covered with carved panelling, tapestries and large paintings.

The furniture, with some exceptional 18th and 19th century pieces, fits perfectly into this historic setting.

A path through 25 exhibition rooms to discover with a multilingual audio guide.

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the middle ages, surrounded by beautiful decorations and the life of the prestigious occupants of this magical place.
