Musée du pays d'Ourthe-Amblève
Housed in the walls of a former 17th century presbytery, the collections of the Ourthe-Amblève Museum will reveal the history of man and stone in the region.
The visit lasts about 1 hour. The museum is spread over two floors (ground floor and first floor), interspersed with several rooms at mid-level. The museum organises guided tours on request and educational activities for schools.
Do not hesitate to cross the threshold of this listed building regularly to admire its exhibitions with varied and original themes or to enjoy its concerts and conferences.
