The ‘Walloon syndicate of forestry reproduction materials’, better known under the name of ‘forestry syndicate’, is a public service of the Walloon forestry administration of which the mission is the gathering, the treating, the conservation and the sale of forest grains that are the best adapted and the most productive for forestry. Faced by climate changes, it actively takes part in the regeneration of the natural heritage by guaranteeing to maintain a high genetic diversity. Added to this vocation of being a ‘grain centre’, its original shape and unique structure in arched spruce wood make it an interesting tool for promoting the use of local wood in construction work.

Free guided visit for groups upon reservation from Monday to Friday from 9.00 to 16.00 (French, English - max. 50 pers.). The most favourable period for visits runs from September to May.

At the gates of the town, the deep little valley of ‘Fond des Vaulx’ covering an area of approximately 37 acres is a landscape in total contrast with the widespread Marche plain. This band of limestone, the ‘Calestienne’, has been shaped during millions of years by the acid waters of the Ardennes’ massif to the south. Numerous legends are attached to this mystery-filled site …
Three signposted walks of 1.4 to 2.8 miles will make you discover numerous cavities, an abyss, resurgences and rock slopes.
Here, the fauna, the flora and the geology are within the reach of all nature lovers.
A health trail and a covered barbecue are available to the hikers.
Rustic cows and sheep are often grazing in the valley and will amuse the young and less young.

Beech trees and oaks are also present, of which some are over 350 years of age, and some fifteen other species are to be discovered. The woods and paths scattered with benches are an invitation to a stroll in this peaceful area. More...

This remarkable Romanesque building (1050), listed as Major Heritage of Wallonia, is surrounded by its ancient cemetery and fronted by an age-old linden tree under which a White monk is meditating.
Oldest of the Romanesque churches of Belgium, it is the only one to have kept its dedicatory stone, which commemorates the consecration of the church on June 20, 1050 by Théoduin, Bishop of Liège from 1048 to 1075. This unique and very rare relic is just as much an historical document as a work of art.
The church houses the commemorative stone of the Perpetual Edict that carries the coat of arms of Philippe II, as well as the blazons of Luxembourg and of the town of Marche.
The church heritage also includes 16th c. baptismal fonts, a 15th c. Gothic theotheque, 15th and 18th c. funeral stones, a 13th c. reliquary, a fragment of a 13th c. mural fresco, a 16th c. fragment of Christ on the cross, a number of works by the Master of Waha of which one of the most remarkable is the 16th c. Calvary.
Exceptional stained-glass windows, by Jean- Michel Folon, depict the martyrdom of saint Etienne, patron saint of the parish.
An audiovisual montage (in French) shows the testimony of Jean-Michel Folon on the making of these windows, as well as a few comments on the major objects of the church’s heritage. Another one is dedicated to the works of the Master of Waha of whom a number of sculptures are also visible in the Museum of the Famenne.

Accessible daily from 9.00 to 17.00 (except during services).
