In the depths of a landscape combining the gentleness of the Pays de Herve with the diversity of the Ardennes mountains, only the slate-coloured spire of the church betrays the presence of Olne!
On a 1.3-kilometre route, discover this characterful village’s rich heritage and points of interest!
The small town used to be a lively place, thanks to the activities of the limestone quarrymen, the earthenware makers, the cloth makers and above all, the nail makers. Today, it seems to want to enjoy the new-found calm, lulled by the memory of these flourishing activities. Strolling through the streets and alleys of this small village is like walking through a large open history book. The Mosan Renaissance and the 17th and 18th centuries shaped the limestone houses and village farms here, all of which are precious evidence of what Olne once was.
