The castle of Franchimont which was built in the XIth century on a rocky outcrop dominating the valley of Hoegne, and which was residence of the Prince-bishop of Liège, presents impressive ruins definitely worth a visit. You can see a chapel, a latrines tower, a bread oven and a well of more than 60 meters deep, but the most spectacular is the whole of casemates and subterranean stairs.
