"The Arvô" in Limburg

The old town hall occupied the centre of the square until its destruction in 1675.

A new town hall was then built from 1681 to 1687 on a well-situated but relatively modest plot. It was accessed via the “Arvô”, which in Liège Walloon means a “covered passage”. At the time, the addition of this extra bay and of a floor above the neighbouring cornice gave this public building a certain presence on the square.

The Arvo is a former justice of the peace and a listed building. It is now the home of the Tourist Office, the hub of tourist and cultural activities in Limburg. Here you will find all the tourist information you need, a historical room with a large model of Limburg in 1632 and various art exhibitions.
