Port Autonome de Charleroi

Highlight • Structure

As of January 1, 2020, the Autonomous Port of Charleroi will consist of 28 port areas with a total area of 460 hectares (300 hectares of which are former industrial wastelands). 50 hectares of which are green areas, access roads, embankments, etc. 410 hectares are actually usable.
The Autonomous Port of Charleroi has received a mandate from the Walloon Region to contribute to the development of economic activities linked to inland navigation and, consequently, to the creation of jobs.
Its task is to promote intermodal transport through the optimal use of all port areas along the waterway and leasing them to companies. The port has to develop, set up, manage and operate the leased land.

Farciennes Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château de Farciennes is a 17th century Belgian castle located in the commune of Farciennes in the Walloon region.
Farciennes was once established on the borders of the Principality of Liège on the left bank of the Sambre which served as the border with the County of Hainaut. It was an enclave subservient to the episcopal city.

The castle followed a medieval keep. It was once surrounded by water thanks to a slight diversion of the river. The castle is no more than a shadow, shrouded in green clothes that are in no way academic. Attached to tinsel, it retains some of its superb ancestral status. From what remains, we see walls built of bricks and bluestone for the frames and window frames and the chaining of the edges of the three square towers.
