Habay-la-Neuve

Highlight • Settlement

Habay-la-Neuve was an important center for forges in the 18th century. Habay and the neighboring municipalities have kept romantic castles and ponds which follow one another along the Rulles. This combination of water and forest characterizes this region where the savagery of a still intact nature rubs shoulders with the cordial welcome of its inhabitants.

The Château du Pont d'Oye, cultural meeting centre, the tomb of the writer and statesman Pierre Nothomb, the chapel of Notre-Dame de Grâces, the church of Saint-Nicolas, the chapel of Bonhomme, the forest of 'Anlier with an area of 5,500 ha, the Forge du Prince waterfall... a few small wonders to see among many others.

Habay-la-Vieille village

Highlight • Settlement

Formerly, in the 16th century, Habay-la-Vieille lived from the work of the forge. Nestled in the forest of Anlier, the village was part of the former county of Chiny then of the duchy of Luxemnourg.

Today you can visit an exceptional vestige, the Gallo-Roman villa of Mageroy. Its history takes the curious back to between the 1st and 4th centuries.

Nantimont Hamlet

Highlight • Settlement

Charming hamlet, Nantimont and its surroundings have been occupied since the first century of our era. Traces were found along the Etalle road at a place called "le trou au sable" in 1876.

But more recently, it was in Mageroy that a Gallo-Roman villa was discovered. Occupied between the 1st and the 4th century, it is still being excavated. It will be necessary to wait until 1317 to find the first mention of Nantimont in a text. The latter explains that Messire Jean du Châtelet receives various fiefs from the counts of Chiny to reward his services. In the 17th century, a document provides us with other interesting information: the hamlet has 12 households, belongs to the provostship of Etalle and to the parish of Etalle.

In 1672, Nantimont was set up as a Lordship with high, medium and low justice and a certain communal autonomy for the inhabitants who could finally elect their mayor and their aldermen. In the middle of the 18th century, the seigniory was bought by the governor, who then resold it to the abbey of Orval in 1758. At that time, Nantimont had 9 houses, 16 laborers (women and children not being counted ). In 1823, Nantimont was separated from Etalle to be attached to the parish and the community of Habay-la-Vieille. Since then, Nantimont and Habay-la-Vieille have experienced a similar fate.

Although the section often suffered from its remoteness, it is today a village breathing the tranquility of the Gaume countryside.

Saint-Quirin Church, Buzenol

Highlight • Religious Site

It is a single nave church, which is the transformation of a chapel that already existed in 1682. In 1846 the tower was added and it became a parish. Located in the center of the village, rue de Montauban, and built in the same size and with the same materials as the other houses of Buzenol, it has rustic furnishings and the large frescoes of the ceiling give the whole a warmth and simplicity a little naive and endearing. It was completely restored externally in 1986, including a new protective plaster and the improvement of all the stone cornerstones of the land. On display in the church, a statue of Our Lady of Luxembourg from the eighteenth century, and on the high altar, a canvas from the eighteenth century representing Christ on the cross, painted by Brother Abraham Gilson, monk of Orval.
The toponym "Buzenol" could come from the root bus, busem (cow in Celtic) and ol, diminutive of ullus. Buzenol would therefore mean "little cow".

Chantemelle Village Monuments

Highlight • Monument

against the French army in the Ton and Vire valleys. The day after the battle, many wounded arrived. It is said that the son of Emperor William II, Oscar of Prussia, stayed in a beautiful residence in the village, at current number 38.
The monument at the corner of Place de l'Étang and Rue du Sart-Macré, near the school, is quite singular: the base originally included (1921) a sculpted scene depicting the eagle Germanic undermined by the Belgian lion. During the Second World War, a German soldier mutilated the bas-relief, which the inhabitants of Chantemelle preferred to leave as is since then. The attentive observer will easily guess the details of the claws, claws and wings that escaped destruction.
