Superb 17th century castle situated on a rock. Inside the castle, where about twenty richly decorated and furnished rooms are open to the public, one may admire remarkable ceilings, works of succo worker Jean-Christian Hansche, sculptures, paintings, Brussels tapestries and furniture dating from the XVIIIth century. There is also an accurate replica, made to scale, of the hydraulic wheel built by Rennequin Sualem (1667) that was used as a model for the machine at Marly.
