Château de chanxhe

Sprimont, Belgium, Belgium

---

The Château de Chanxhe, often called the Château des Maîtres de Forges or “Maison du Fourneau,” is a small, classified neoclassical manor house in the village of Chanxhe, part of the commune of Sprimont in the province of Liège, Belgium.

Although some sources describe it as dating from the late 17th century, the most detailed account states that the present building was constructed in 1756 for Marie-Anne-Françoise de Lezaack, widow of Philippe-Joseph de Hauzeur, and is modest in size (about 18 by 10 metres) with brick walls, a high stone base, and limestone window and door surrounds.

The château stands on the right bank of the Ourthe river, just south of Chanxhe between the village church and the local limestone quarry, at numbers 72–74–76 of rue Rodolphe Bernard. It and the surrounding ensemble of the château, church, and adjacent grounds were officially listed as a protected monument in November 1981.
