This typical castle of classicism was built in the 18th century. Property of the Pange family, it is entrusted to an association responsible for making it a house of arts, encounters and cultures. Besides the building, the gardens are also splendid. More information is available on the chateau website: http://www.chateaudepange.fr/.

About the Notre-Dame de Rabas chapel, the legend says: "Overwhelming heat! A troop of hunters and a pack of dogs pursue a deer at bay in the woods of Saint-Hubert. They get lost. People and beasts suffer from intense thirst. Very touched to see his people and his animals suffer, Charlemagne then made a vow to build a chapel to the Virgin if she came to his aid. Suddenly, under the feet of his horse springs a fresh and clear source. This is how the first stones of the chapel were laid during the 9th century.

Beautiful, detached chapel, not far from the "Charlemagne" spring.

Religious works of art such as relics and icons can be admired in the castle. There are no regular opening hours, you have to register in advance - preferably as a group.

The castle dates from 1720 and was the residence of the Marquis de Pange. It is still family-owned today and unfortunately (currently) not open to the public.
