Le château en bref
Lassus Castle stands in the hamlet of Lassus, in Hamoir, on the banks of the Ourthe. Its oldest part is a small keep dating from the early 14th century, on the river side, the least altered section of the main body. The residence, home of the village's hereditary mayors, was for a long time owned by the de Maillen family; a stone dated 1612 is dedicated to Jean de Maillen. The buildings were largely remodelled in the 18th century in the Louis XIV style, then transformed between 1907 and 1920 under the direction of the Liège banker "Puck" Chaudoir. Opposite the castle, the Chapel of Saint-Pierre, founded in 1396, has a Renaissance interior and houses the tombstones of the de Donéa and de Maillen families. The castle is now a private property, some of whose holiday cottages are offered for rent.
