An authentic Ardennes village

vue-ancienne-mirwart

On either side of the main street, two buildings face each other: the neo-Gothic Church of Saint Roch, humble but proud, stands opposite the imposing but quiet castle. The castle, now listed, was built in the Middle Ages on its rocky outcrop. Its history is spectacular: with origins dating back to the 8th century, its many high-ranking owners have led it to play an important role in the history of the Netherlands. Repeatedly damaged by wars and revolutions, it has continued to be rebuilt and improved.

Near the church, the statue of the Sower, a local emblem and a brand of village beer leads the way to the farmhouses and old farms lined up along the main street. They have kept their ancestral characteristics: half-timbering, old stones, old bricks and form a most charming whole. At the bottom of the village, where the Lhomme, a peaceful and winding river flows, the fish ponds of the Domaine Provincial welcome fishing enthusiasts. It is also a place to discover the richness of the fauna and flora of the region. In the middle of these magnificent forests, the village seems to have been spared by time.
