Crawhez Castle

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Crawhez farm-castle, or Crawhez manor, is a fortified residence in the hamlet of Crawhez, in Thimister-Clermont (province of Liège). Dated to 1551 according to the inscription read on the door in the inventory of Wallonia's immovable cultural heritage, it belongs to the late Gothic style and combines brick and limestone; turrets and loopholes recall its defensive purpose. Two coats of arms hanging from the lintel, identified as those of Reul and Roo, evoke the couple who built it. Two farm outbuildings flank the complex to the east. The property is listed (file 63089-CLT-0004-01), notably for its four walls, its ceilings and the ground-floor fireplace. Today operated as a rural holiday cottage in a 23-hectare park, it offers up to 28 beds, a covered swimming pool and a reception hall intended for meetings, weddings and celebrations.
