Villa built in 1930 in a mixed Art Deco and neo-Norman style.
It stands on the site of the former neo-Louis XIII style castle of the Dufresne family. It was completely destroyed in 1918.
The villa is now a residence for writers. Stefan Hertmans was selected as the first Belgian writer in residence. Anne Provoost stayed at Villa Marguerite Yourcenar from 2 to 29 March 2012.
A long banner on the façade lists the names of all the authors who have resided here since 1997.

Marguerite Yourcenar Departmental Park

Highlight • Forest

From 1 June to 29 September 2024, the region will host the land art festival "ArtPenteurs".
One of the works is "M for Marguerite", of course placed here in the park.
(If you are standing with your back to the villa: about 50 metres further on, turn left)

Mont des Cats

Highlight • Viewpoint

2.5 kilometers and a gradient of up to 18 percent, that's what cyclists expect on the Catsberg. Once at the top you will find the abbey of the same name in which Trappist beer is brewed.
