Tips from the Community
In Chassepierre, a church is mentioned as early as 1097. Its privileged location underscores the importance of its function. The elevated cemetery appears to have been extended towards the village. The road along the river Semois was diverted, making the construction of the current building possible. The tower dates from 1702, as evidenced by the anchors, which are affixed above the coat of arms of the Austrian Loewenstein family, which was damaged during the French Revolution. The spherical roof, crowned by a double spire ending in a pear-shaped finial below the wind vane cross, adorns the summit and the landscape, crowning the church with its slate splendor. The bells are not located in the tower, but lower down. The awkwardly placed bell testifies to the building's many functions: a place of spiritual life, but also a landmark in space and time. While the village boasts its golden stones, the new whitewash applied during the recent restoration of the church recalls the once widespread (and sensible) practices of protecting stonework with porous stones.

Chassepierre is also the name of the stream in the center of the village, which was covered over in the 19th century. In the past, the water of the Chassepierre powered the mills and fed the washhouses that lay along the slopes of the village. An old forge was thus erected between the presbytery and the church. Unfortunately demolished in 1980, it nevertheless made it possible to discover the remains of a much older occupation of the site and its geological origin, beautifully called the “fairy hole”: a network of galleries dug by man in the limestone (cron) that extends to the cellars of the presbytery and forms a mysterious network, perhaps attributed to the dwelling of magical beings… (Maison des Plus Beaux Villages de Wallonie)

Saint Cecile, to whom this church was dedicated, is primarily responsible for good sound—if one can put it so casually here—as she is the patron saint of church music. Many sacred choirs are named after her. The dates of her birth from the legend of the saint are not historically confirmed; she is said to have been a martyr from the early third century. The patron saint's feast day, or her memorial day in the calendar of saints, is November 22nd in all major Christian denominations.

The village of Chassepierre, located directly on the Semois, is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia. From the bridge you can look directly at the town center in an idyllic natural setting. The village is best known as the venue for the oldest street art festival in Europe, which takes place every year on the weekend after August 15th.
