In the depths of the gentle Gaume, where Belgium and France embrace each other in the hollows of vast valleys, the ruins of Montquintin Castle, surrounded by its hamlet, contemplates the landscape.
Standing on a mound away from the main roads, the castle dominates the relief of the cuestas and offers a view as far as Arlon to the east and Montmédy to the south.
Cited as early as the 12th century, perhaps even present at the time of the Roman villa of Argenfontaine, Montquintin concentrates in its tiny territory a jewel listed as Exceptional Heritage of Wallonia.
The site can be rented for outdoor events. Let’s hear it…
