Tips from the Community
The Mansion Over There The first known lord of the domain of Là-Bas was Jean de Vaul, in 1450. In 1686, in the income due to taxes, the farm appears as occupying 127 bonniers. It was by far the largest farm in the village. It was owned by the De Posson family. The barons of Posson rebuilt in 1734, the current farm adjoining the castle as well as the old manor. On the two towers are also their coats of arms: three cruets (in dialect: “Posson” means “pints”). Lambert de Philippart ennobled in 1783, married Philippine de Posson and inherited the estate. They had six children, including Charles Philippart, who was mayor of Aische-en-Refail and who died unmarried in 1860. His sister, Rose Joséphine, married Count Philibert Emmanuel Van Goidtsnoven in 1819 and inherited the estate. They had one son: Eugène-Charles who himself gave birth to Léopold Van Goidtsnoven, husband of the Countess Van der Burch and who restored the castle to its current form in 1870. He also established the layout of the park. The initials “L.V.G. » still appear in the wrought iron balustrade of the moat, in the moldings and the marbles of the entrance hall. In 1907, the Count of Aspremont Lynden married the only daughter of Count Léopold Van Goidtsnoven and built the right wing of the manor with the large conciergerie called "La Tour". His coat of arms appears in the central gable of the castle. During the Second World War, Princes Baudouin and Albert camped in the property in 1942. At that time, the Manor secretly sheltered Jewish children (under the patronage of Queen Elisabeth). https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/pa1184741 It was in 1955 that the firm Governor created the campsite for passing tourists. In 1958, the professor and abbot Paul Boutes acquired the estate to make it a center for study in the open air. Eight years later, the castle was bought by the company Europa Camping which acquired the farm in 1971. The campsite will be operated until 2018. The estate was purchased by a promoter with the project to build 235 homes. A committee of residents (“Sauvons Aische Rural”) opposes the project.
