Château de Gaillarmont

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Gaillarmont stands on Rue de Gaillarmont, in Chênée (Liège), in the hamlet of Bois-de-Breux. An estate of Adrien de Geer de Brialmont at the beginning of the seventeenth century, it passed to the barons de Nollet and then to the Favereau family, who rebuilt it in its present form around 1845. This Neoclassical house in brick and limestone has a central block of seven bays over two storeys, flanked by two symmetrical three-storey pavilions. A portico with four Tuscan columns was added in 1873 for Baron Gaston de la Rousselière, whose arms, together with those of the Robiano family, adorn the dormer window. A Neo-Gothic chapel with a hexagonal spire adjoins the right-hand pavilion. Inside, notable features include a monumental staircase with a cast-iron balustrade and a Neo-Renaissance dining room. Since 1922, the park has housed the Notre-Dame des Bruyères sanatorium, which later became a clinic.
