At the summit of an undulation the silhouette of the castle of Fosteau appears. This imposing fortress from the XIVth century still has got 4 tours. The lords of Semousies, Sars, and after them de lords of Zwenne, Marotte, de Henry, de Jamblines and de Aoust developed the living quarters around the central donjon. Inside we find one of the finest gothic rooms in Belgium. The gardens - sober, French and laid out in terrace - go as far as the lake. The castle is considered a monument since 1979.
