In 1577, Henri le Clercq built a powder mill on the banks of the Ton in the lower town of Virton, which became a sawmill a hundred years later. In 1797, the buildings were redeveloped by the new owners, a fact clearly reflected in the first land registry of the town of Virton, dated 1850. In 1875, the sawmill was converted into a bark mill and tannery. In 1928, these buildings were purchased by Jean Naisse. He modernized the equipment to operate a sawmill that remained in operation until 1970. The small building to the east has preserved its mill and waterwheel from the early 19th century. The large western building houses the old tannery. It is recognizable by the nine rectangular openings that were necessary for drying the hides. In 1930, a traditional living area of the same size was added to form the current building. All buildings and the surrounding area have been listed as historic monuments since November 9, 1990.

🏰 **Château de Cons-la-Grandville – A Journey Through the Centuries** The imposing castle of **Cons-la-Grandville**, near the border with Luxembourg, combines Romanesque origins with Renaissance and Baroque architecture. Built on the foundations of a Gallo-Roman villa, it was expanded and remodeled several times from the 11th century onwards. Particularly worth seeing: the Romanesque cloister, the elegant façade, and the magnificent courtyard. 🕰️ The château was the residence of the noble de Cons family, later also a monastery, and has been lovingly restored. Today it is a listed monument and open to visitors. **Tip:** Be sure to visit the cloister – one of the oldest preserved of its kind in Lorraine. Ideal as a stopover on the way between France and Luxembourg.

Built at the beginning of the 20th century by the Count of Saintignon. After drilling to a depth of 900 m to try to discover a coal deposit, he discovered a spring that would be called the source of the Récollets. The spring gushes at a temperature of 24 °C! The Count then undertook to make Longwy a spa town. To this end, he had a spa resort built with 2 buildings: the thermal baths and the spa hotel, which today houses the Town Hall. In 1920, the Town requested to be classified as a spa resort, but was refused. Over time, the building housed major institutions, such as the Union des Mines Métaux and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. (source: Town of Longwy)

On the edge of a wooded massif, where the climate is favorable for growing wine, lies Torgny, Belgium's southernmost village. The houses here, built of yellow sandstone with Roman roof tiles, are striking, lending a Mediterranean flair. A truly beautiful sight. No wonder this place is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia.
