Durbuy Castle

Highlight • Castle

Durbuy got its first fortified castle around 899. A century later it was destroyed and in the 11th century Henri the 1st of Namur, Count of Durbuy had the castle rebuilt. The d'Ursel family became the owner of the castle in 1756. This beautiful building is located along the Ourthe, near the old bridge of the city.

Former meander of the Ourthe

Highlight • Natural

At the time, Durbuy, the smallest city in the world, was surrounded by the Ourthe.
It is the Recollects sisters who in 1725 ordered that the meander around the city be drained in order to have more grounds and for hygienic reasons.
The meander explains the existence of the "Vieux Pont" (old bridge).
In the past, what is now the "Place aux Foires" was under water. Then the water ran past the wall of the Recollects and further along the foot of the Antclinale.

Now the old meander is full of steel carriages that stroll around the old center. Numerous eateries were built on the old meander bank.

Durbuy Bridge - 1725

Highlight • Bridge

In the 14th century, Durbuy had its small wooden bridge. This was replaced by a stone bridge in 1725, donated by Sisters Recollectinen. Next door, on the left bank, stood a mill.
The bridge and the mill disappear in 1909. A new, wider bridge is built, but it is destroyed in 1940 by the Belgian army.
The current bridge dates from 1954. Three construction dates are engraved on the bronze cross in the middle of the bridge.
