Beautiful castle .. with wonderful view from every level Best way to explore castle is by foot (walk up), stay at every level (there are plenty of sitting spaces here and there) There are car parking at the highest level and at a level below (just next to Parfumes of Namur shop) One can easily spend whole day here .. there is a museum, an expo and small yet beautiful shop, cafe and train ride, small kids play area and plenty of open space to sit around and relax

Nouvelle exposition : à l’aide de 21 panneaux, est retracée l’évolution de l’armement portatif, de l’artillerie, des uniformes de l’Armée belge, des fortifications et de la défense du territoire, y compris la Position Fortifiée de Namur, de 1914 à 1940. Historique: Le Fort d’Emines, établi entre les villages d’Emines et de Saint-Marc (nord-ouest de Namur, à 4,6 kms du centre), est l’un des neuf forts construits entre 1888 et 1891 autour de Namur. Tous les forts ont été conçus par le général Henri Alexis Brialmont et mettent en œuvre un béton non-armé, matériau novateur à l’époque ainsi que de l’artillerie sous coupoles. Le Fort d’Emines fut copieusement bombardé par les canons lourds allemande dès le 23 août 1914 et fut largement ravagé par les explosions des obus. Après la 1ère Guerre mondiale, le Fort d’Emines n’a pas été modernisé par l’Armée belge et a été utilisé comme dépôt de munitions jusqu’aux années 1980 puis a été vendu.

It was between 1818, and 1821, during the Dutch occupation, that the citadel was built in its current form. Throughout the kitchen, the bakery and the forge, you will discover the daily life of 400 soldiers that were living there. Don't forget to visite our new space 1914-1918, explaining all the fights that took place in dinant during the first world war.

Located just over the Belgian border from France in the middle of the Ardennes, this is an excellent site for history lovers, especially for those well read on World War II. On the eve of the Fall of France, Hitler and his staff came and stayed here. You park the car on the side of the road and walk down a mulch path to the bunker welcome center where a short film is shown (available in French with Dutch, English subtitles-German and others available too I think) which gives you a good overview of the surrounding area and what happened here. There are also photos from when the Germans occupied the area. Site includes a pathway to a reenactment of a resistance bunker, the original bunker built for Hitler and his staff, and a memorial exhibit to the resistance and Belgian soldiers who fought in WWII. You can also go back up the path to the remaining buildings in the village to see a few of them-including the church, there's also a strip of grass where the runway was and some heavy undergrowth where a pillbox bunker was. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Well worth the visit, from here it was easy to proceed east or to the southeast towards Bastogne or Luxembourg, respectively. Can also head west/southwest and you're in France within minutes. Peaceful area.

King Léopold II ordered General Brialmont to fortify the cities of Liège and Namur to prepare against a possible attempt to pass through our country coming from the south or from the east. Due to this situation the fortified positions of Liège and Namur came into existence between 1880 and 18
