Ferme du Chateau de Tahier

Ohey, Belgium, Belgium

---

Ferme du Château de Tahier is a large, fortified square farmstead in the small hamlet of Tahier, part of the municipality of Ohey in the Namur province of Wallonia, Belgium, whose name comes from its former role as the farm attached to a local château survives as a separate building.

The farm was built in the first half of the 17th century, originally surrounded by moats, and is laid out as a spacious quadrangular complex with four wings each about 50 metres long, encircling an internal courtyard of around 850 square metres accessed through a basket‑arch porch, and is constructed mainly in limestone rubble with a mix of old and later 19th‑century agricultural buildings.

The most striking parts are the northern residential wing, historically called the “château,” a two‑storey range of about 25 metres with seven evenly spaced windows, and a round watchtower with a distinctive bulb‑shaped bell‑capped roof on the western side, both of which, together with the nearby Saint‑Servais chapel and their surrounding grounds, were listed as protected heritage in 1976.
