 Listed in Wallonia's major heritage register, this castle is one of the most authentic vestiges from the 18th century. Completely furnished in Louis XV style, it has preserved its rocaille interior, its collections and its original neoclassical decoration. The castle is characterised by the homogeneity and the clear layout of the rooms. The simplicity and sobriety of the lines of the French formal garden in front of the building are in contrast with the 17 ha English landscape park, listed as an “exceptional garden of Wallonia”. The latter boasts several man-made curiosities including a rockery constructed in 1788, a concrete expression of 18th-century Romanticism. The 33-metre high grotto was used as a lookout by Archduchess Maria Christina of Austria during rabbit hunts! Only guided visits are possible.

Family outing: the wide gravel paths bordered with many lawns grant easy access to strollers and young children. Garden lovers: the park contains both an English garden and a forest park, as well as some monuments such as the seventeenth century dovecote or the Vignou tower (Tour Vignou), which, according to legend, was used as a hideout for "Vignou" highwaymen. The "Rocher" (rock) is definitely worth seeing. Built in 1788, this 33-meter artificial cave, in a pre-Romantic style, served as an observatory for rabbit hunts organised in honour of the annual arrival of the Archduchess Marie-Christine and her husband, the Duke of Saxe-Teschen. First visit to an "exceptional" garden: amidst the magnificent natural beauty, there are several man-made attractions, with the highlight being the artificial rock, built in the form of ruins, a concrete expression of the romanticism of the eighteenth century.

The Keramis Museum, space for art and creativity dedicated to ceramics, was built on the site of the previous Boch earthenware factory in La Louvière. Its architecture, quite contemporary and audacious, encloses a listed building which contains three giant bottle kilns, the last surviving examples of their type in Belgium. BOCH COLLECTION The museum has a remarkable collection of ceramics made in the 19th and 20th centuries at the Boch factory, once the exceptional flagship of Belgian industry. Creations made in the art workshops, such as the vases by Charles Catteau, live side-by-side with more mundane pieces. In the reserve collection which is open to the public, an illustrated path offers a presentation of the techniques - used in the industrial production of ce ramics and of the lifestyle of workers. CONTEMPORARY CERAMICS Keramis also showcases an important collection of ceramics by representative artists from the second half of the 20th century. All aspects of modern and contemporary ceramics are mentioned as well as design. This original collection presented by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, is regularly enhanced by acquisitions of works created by national and international contemporary artists. EXHIBITIONS Every year, Keramis explores the world of ceramics through temporary exhibitions in order to promote an underrated and yet millenary discipline. Alongside retrospectives of historical figures, Keramis devotes a large part of its programme to collective or individual exhibitions from contemporary artists. ART AND CREATION Keramis possesses a workshop for teaching, research and creation. Techniques are taught to facilitate a better reading of the old and new pieces often on display. The artists in residence come from disciplines other than ceramics (design, graphic arts, etc.) and can receive the technical support essential to the realization of their artistic projects.

 The Gallo Roman Museum displays remarkable well-preserved ships from the Roman era, which were found in Pommeroeul with rich archaeological findings. Most of the museum's collection originate from the vicus (town) of Pommeroeul, a small town enjoying a special position as the meeting point of a road (Bavay-Blicquy) and a river (the Haine). Its location probably gave it a predominant role in commerce and crafts in the regions to the north of the ancient town of Bavay. The vicus was found by chance in the 1970s, buried beneath wet soil, during digging work on the new Mons-Condé canal. Today, thanks to its striking remains, we have greater insight into navigation, technical skills and other aspects of life in antiquity. The objects speak The Gallo Roman Museum leaves the objects "to speak for themselves", by bringing scientific knowledge and the public's knowledge closer together, distinguishing authentic objects from reconstitutions. The further we go back in time, the more the collections come to life. As visitors go up from one floor to the next, they delve more deeply into the private lives of the objects, as if they were making a journey back in time from today to the second century A.D. Guided by boats From a spatial point of view, the visitor, with or without a guide, progressively ""zooms in"" on the site, beginning with an aerial view, passing via the boats, and ending with the evocation of daily life during antiquity. A fictional character, Rufus , a boatman accompanies the visitor, bringing to life the wharves, the fishermen and daily life, while leaving intact the strong emotional dimension of the ancient objects. At the reception desk, visitors receive a "smart" ticket: a sesterce allowing them to operate the different video monitors that can be found all over the museum. At the boutique a large number of works devoted to archaeology are on sale, as well as attractive reproductions of antique objects.

The Archeosite and Museum of Aubechies-Beloeil, located in lush greenery in the heart of one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia, is illustrated in archaeological reconstructions ranging from Prehistory to Gallo-Roman times.
