Located in the province of Hainaut, the Château de Thoricourt is an elegant example of 18th-century neoclassical architecture, built by Count Henri-Gabriel de la Barre d'Erquelinnes. This imposing castle with its symmetrical facade and rustic yet refined appearance is set amidst extensive gardens, charming ponds and avenues lined with old trees. The interior, normally closed to the public, is renowned for its beautiful rococo details and original decorations, which reflect the grandeur of the past. For lovers of heritage and nature, the castle and the surrounding park offer a special place to go back in time and enjoy serene beauty.

You can see this water tower from afar between the fields and quiet lanes. The climb is short and not too difficult

Château de Thoricourt, known as Château Obert de Thieusies. ⠀ This castle, whose red facade can only attract attention, was built in 1768 on the site of an old manor. ⠀ ⠀ It was Charles-François de la Marlière who built it and was the first to live there. ⠀ In 1830, an orangery was built and 4 ponds were created in the 15 hectare park. ⠀ ⠀ The current owner bought the domain of Thoricourt a little more than 15 years ago and undertook very long renovation works.
