Château de Fléron

Huy, Belgium, Belgium

---

Château de Fléron is a 16th‑century manor house in the hamlet of Ben‑Ahin, on the border between the town of Huy and the commune of Marchin in Liège Province, Wallonia, Belgium, whose origins lie in a farmstead (cense, also called a “bouverie”) that was part of the lordship of Fallais and was inherited in 1508–1509 by Philippe de Lille, son of the Bâtard de Bourgogne and lord of Fallais.

The building was transformed into a large, elegant country house in the 16th century, with a rectangular main body of store dressed in white stone, punctuated by tall windows and a central double door under a triangular pediment, and set within a large, wooded estate with formal gardens, orchards and a river-fed pond that creates a picturesque, almost “magical” setting.

Over the centuries the château remained in the hands of the local noble families connected to Fallais and Fléron, and in the 20th century it was used as a private residence, occasionally undergoing restoration and adaptation, while retaining its historic character and offering a substantial interior of about 2,000 m² of living space spread over several floors.
