Château de Humain

Discovery and recreation

The castle (private property), a classical style construction from 1756, was set on fire in December 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge. It has been restored to its original style and is located amidst a large park surrounded by walls and adorned with ponds. Seat under the Ancien Régime of one of the four peerages of the County of La Roche, the castle was erected by Charles-Antoine de Rossius, lord of Humain. The entrance to the estate is marked by two pilasters topped with vases dating from the 19th century. Following a U-shaped layout, the castle consists of several wings: the main body, divided into three bays by pilasters, and lower dependencies also dating from the 18th century. In the park, there is a small 18th-century observation tower offering a viewpoint over the ponds and the entire valley. The site was one of the filming locations for an episode of the 'Commissaire Maigret' TV film series in the 1990s.
