In 1885, the De Coppee family acquired an impressive estate of 100 hectares with castle on the territory of Ochamps. Baron Évence III Coppee decides to build a new castle on the site of the manor. Alblan Chambon, highly sought after as an architect at the time, was commissioned to realize the plans for the castle in Renaissance style. It was built in 1912 after an example of the castle of Azay-le-Rideau from the Loire region. Towers were added to the original building, using a combination of natural stone and brick. This beautiful and excellently maintained castle of Roumont, together with four surrounding castle farms, complete this beautiful domain.

In the 13th century, the estate was a simple fortified house surrounded by swamps. It is undoubtedly the strategic value of the place which also encouraged Lord Jean d'Ochain and his descendants to replace the fortified house with a powerful keep surrounded by a double row of moats fed by the Hedrea. In any case, the defensive system seems to have been effective since the Ochain family remained the owner of the castle until it was sold to Henri de Waha in 1621. During the 17th century, the keep gradually lost its defensive role. The various successive owners added buildings and transformed it into a castle. In the 19th century, during a more radical restoration campaign, the keep was covered with a roof; the castle does not lose too much of its feudal character. It was owned, between 1840 and 1978, by the Knights of Sauvage Vercour family.

The castle of Lavaux-Sainte-Anne is located in Wallonia in Lavaux-Sainte-Anne (5580) in Belgium near Rochefort, in the province of Namur. In 1450, Jean II de Berlo ordered the construction of this castle. From century to century, the building was reinforced and renovated. Lavaux-Sainte-Anne did not occupy a very strategic position for long. In Roman times, the Famenne was crossed by several secondary roads. One of them, coming from Givet and continuing towards Ave-et-Auffe, passed through Lavaux about a hundred meters north of the castle. It was bordered by villas like those discovered at Genimont or by fortresses like that of Eprave. The creation of the Principality of Liège will make the Lavaux region a border zone with the neighboring Duchy of Luxembourg. This border is protected by fortresses like Agimont, Revogne, Lavaux and Rochefort. The lords of this period came from the “de Wellin” family. The first known mention of Lavaux dates from 1244; Jacques de Wellin is title of Lavaux during his lifetime.

This magnificent castle is located in a typically Ardennes village. It was completely renovated in 2020 and is now a hotel-restaurant.
