Château de Modave History

Situated on a rock 60 meters above the Hoyoux River valley, the castle offers a magnificent view of the surrounding 450-hectare nature reserve from the recently restored terrace.

The castle was the home of several famous owners, including the Count de Marchin to whom it owes its current appearance. It was also the residence of Maximilian-Henry of Bavaria, Prince Bishop of Liège, Cardinal von Fürstenberg and the de Montmorency, Lamarche and Braconier families.

The castle, built in the Middle Ages, was partly demolished in the 17th century. It was later restored with a classic facade transforming it into an elegant country house. Formal gardens, designed in ancient times, add to its charm.

Remarkable 17th century stuccos decorate the ceilings while the walls are covered with carved panels, tapestries and large paintings. The furniture, with some exceptional pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries, fits perfectly into this historical context.

One of the rooms is dedicated to the water wheel built in Modave in the 17th century. Tradition says it was invented by Renkin Sualem. This wheel is undoubtedly the model of Marly's machine that carried water from the Seine to the Palace of Versailles.
