Namur station is a major railway junction in Wallonia and serves as the gateway to the city for many visitors. The current station building dates from the 19th century and reflects the period when the railway played a major role in Namur's economic and urban development. Thanks to its location near the Meuse River and within walking distance of the city center, the station seamlessly connects mobility with the city experience. Today, it combines historic architecture with modern features and is a vibrant departure and arrival point for those who want to explore Namur on foot.

The Saint-Loup Church is one of the most impressive Baroque churches in Belgium and an absolute highlight of Namur's religious heritage. Built in the 17th century by the Jesuits, it is notable for its ornate façade, harmonious proportions, and abundant use of marble and decorative details. The interior is particularly ornate, with colorful marble columns, gilded elements, and a strong, theatrical Baroque style intended to impress and inspire. Today, the Saint-Loup Church is not only a place of worship but also a protected monument that offers visitors insight into the religious, artistic, and urban history of Namur. It is an essential stop on a city walk through the Saint-Loup district.

As you immediately notice in the picturesque setting of this chapel, the hamlet of Hédenge has retained its rural character. Besides the large farms, this Saint-Feuillen Chapel bears witness to this. The chapel is situated on the highest point of the commune and was once surrounded by a cemetery enclosed by walls and hedges. Today, it is a small park with benches and views to relax with the chapel as a backdrop. The chapel itself is a beautiful Gothic building from the 14th or 15th century with a tower in Gobertange. In the 16th century, a short nave was added, and in the 19th century, a sacristy was added, as evidenced by an inscription. It is thought that this church, formerly called Mont des crânes, may have been an old mother parish, perhaps even older than "l'autre église" (the other church), after which the commune to which Hédenge belongs was named. Saint-Feuillen led an Irish religious community that came to Belgium in the seventh century and played an important role in the Christianization of the southern part of our country. An information board with this and more information is available on-site.

The station was opened on October 23, 1843, initially as the terminus of a tram line via Charleroi to Brussels. In 1850, a line to Liegé was added. In 1869, the state railway to Ramelies was added, but this was closed in the following decades.
