Historical heritage and museums: the 8 castles of Flémalle and the Prehistomuseum

Flémalle has an exceptional historical heritage that spans the ages, from Prehistory to contemporary architecture.

🏛️ The Château de la Petite Flémal': a visual clash between history and modern design

The Château de la Petite Flémal' (or Château communal ) is today the only castle in Flémalle whose interior can be visited . Built starting in 1614, this historical monument surprisingly combines Meuse Valley history and avant-garde architecture:

• Contemporary renovation : The interior has been completely transformed by the renowned Liège-based architecture firm Pygma . It now boasts a minimalist, bright and ultra-modern style (white structures, clean open spaces).

• Glass and design : The architects used glass partitions and steel to flood the spaces with natural light. A modern extension at the rear seamlessly connects the building to the gardens.

• Accessibility for people with reduced mobility : This modernization incorporates elevators and designer access ramps, making the site accessible to all.

• Tours and gardens : Guided tours of this unique modern interior are available upon request for groups of 8 or more through the Tourist Office. Its magnificent gardens (Italian, French, and English styles) are open to the public free of charge all year round.
