Hiking
A memorial commemorating the impact of WWII, which was very tangible here. The castle served as a camp for a German army unit when German troops invaded Belgium in 1940. In 1944, the American 300th Combat Engineers used it for the same purpose. The furniture was therefore removed, and the soldiers slept on the dining room floor, while the officers stayed in the upstairs rooms. A memorial trail (chemin de la memoire) starts here and winds through the surrounding area, passing memorials.
