Castles & Chateaux - Castle of the Counts of Marchin

Modave - Castle of the Counts of Marchin Modave was first mentioned in 1233 when it became a fortified post protecting the nearby town of Huy. Several castles have been built on this spot subsequently, but the current building dates back to the late 17th century. The Castle is in the middle of a nature reserve and has about twenty richly decorated and furnished rooms. Astonishing stucco, 17th century tapestries, and beautiful faience from Gien and 19th century Val-St-Lambert crystal are every visitor's delight. Musical evenings are held at the castle and the Christmas decoration is magical. Visits are possible from March through November. In December (during Christmas) the castle is open daily from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
