Château de Jehay
A 16th-century castle built in a moat. Its exterior walls, with a distinctive red brick and white stone checkerboard pattern, are surrounded by French-style gardens and a kitchen garden.
Jehay Castle lies about 25 km southwest of Liège. Its main body dates to the 16th century and stands in a moat. Its exterior walls, made of sandstone and flint, form a striking checkerboard pattern, making it a representative Renaissance castle of the Meuse Valley. The castle now belongs to Liège Province and has been restored over many years. Visitors can tour the formal gardens, water basins, and historic kitchen garden, and summer often brings exhibitions and events. Admission is about 10 euros. The grounds are closed in winter, so driving is recommended.
