The castle of Petite Flémal'

Grand'Route 287 – Flémalle-Haute

Built in 1614 by Michel Valkener , receiver at the collegiate church of Saint-Pierre in Liège, the castle stands in the heart of a property formerly known as "Petite Flémal'" .

Originally conceived as a pleasure residence, the property was enlarged between1710 and 1738 under the impetus of Marie-Françoise de Bonhomme , who had a second symmetrical wing built.

Today, the castle houses municipal services . It is extended by a contemporary wing and surrounded by a remarkable park , open to the public free of charge all year round.

A park with multiple influences

Over the centuries, the park has evolved: initially a utilitarian orchard , it gradually became a public garden blending different influences, notably Italian, French and English .

Its flowerbeds, ponds and rockeries now create a pleasant setting for a walk or a break in the heart of Flémalle.

The park is also very popular for wedding photography , with many couples coming to capture their special day.
