Ghislain-Joseph Henry

Ghislain-Joseph Henry, architect from Dinant, is known for having drawn up the plans for the château de Duras, near Saint-Trond. This residence, built in 1787-1789 for the counts van der Noot, at a time when the region still belonged to the Principality of Liège, replaces the medieval château of the lords of Duras, demolished shortly after 1785. His work is a classical U-shaped château opening onto a cour d'honneur, surrounded by water and decorated with a portico of Ionic columns surmounted by a dome.
