Highlight • Castle

Fernelmont Castle is a manor located in Noville-les-Bois. The castle dates back to the 13th century, when it was built as a keep by the de Noville family.

Surrounded by ponds and gardens, the castle is classified as an exceptional heritage site. You will be able to admire the exterior of the castle which presents a mixture of styles and periods, such as the Gothic keep-porch, the Renaissance residential wing and the Baroque staircase.

Château de Franc-Waret

Highlight • Castle

The castle of Franc-Waret is a vast quadrilateral built in blue stones and bricks. It is made up, to the north, of a fortified farm with a drawbridge and corner towers from the end of the 16th century to which is added, to the south, an 18th century castle, in a "U", facing south. The whole is surrounded by moats. It is a complex built according to a principle of defense. then remodeled in the middle of the 18th century on the plans of the architect Jean-Baptiste Chermanne, giving it a classic look. Large French gardens are established on the terrace to the north of the complex. A tower to the northeast was intended for habitation1. Access is via two bridges over the moat facing the main façade. This is centered by a frontispiece in the spirit of Louis XVI2. The wings in return comprise three levels with similar windows. On the ground floor, a coach shed surmounted by four keyed arches overlooks the main courtyard. At the junction of the east wing with the main wing, a three-sided neo-classical logia dating from 1834 benefits from a southwest exposure to the sun. Towards the moat, to the west, a long, almost blind façade joins the drawbridge which gives access to the courtyard of the farm. The outer walls were partially rebuilt around 1856-1859. The orangery was built in 1810 to plans by architect Fr. Duckers3. The Saint-Rémi de Franc-Waret church is located on the edge of the village, 100 meters east of the castle. The Groesbeeck family owned the castle until the end of the 18th century. It then passes to the Counts of Cross and then to the Counts of Andigné who reside there.

Château-Ferme

Highlight • Castle

Right next to the Saint-Martin church, with which it forms a somewhat timeless ensemble, the castle-farm of Ramet extends its vast quadrilateral of bricks and stones dating from the first half of the 18th century.
The central portal is surrounded by a high rectangular frontispiece and bordered by stone pilasters masoned in relief. The whole is surmounted by a triangular capital containing a slab with coat of arms. The paved courtyard, divided by a wall, accommodates, on the left, the castle and, on the right, the main building of the farm.

The castle, of which we can only see the street facade, does not necessarily attract the eye with its removed windows, its 20th century door and its stone courtyard. The most appropriate place to admire this property is to go to the far left of the building. The entrance to a park is then revealed, decorated with a pond, whose old trees conceal several buildings forming the ancestral castle of Ramet. There are 19th century lintel windows on the façade, some of which are topped with oculi.
The red color of the bricks contrasts perfectly with the surrounding greenery.
A little gem in its case!
