The castle is a U-shaped building with a northwest corner tower, which is the former keep. The side wings still have their 17th-century stepped gables. The appearance is strongly influenced by the 1763 renovation, and the interior also dates from that period. Rococo stucco work, a plastered ceiling, and several fireplaces are found. Interesting is the cardinal's hall, dedicated to Jean Walther de Sluse, who was a cardinal and whose coat of arms is present. A stone flower vase on a pedestal is also depicted, attributed to the Liège native Cockler. Of the outer bailey, only the southern wing remains. Furthermore, there is the gatehouse from around 1700, flanked by two square, brick towers. These are covered by bell-shaped roofs - covered with slate - crowned with a lantern. The castle - located near the church - is surrounded by a park. @https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasteel_van_Hoepertingen

Since 1965, the Oteppe castle and its surrounding estate (65 ha) have been run as a holiday centre ("L'Hirondelle") with a hotel, campsite, holiday chalets and bungalows, swimming pools, playground and fishing ponds; as a result, the village's population has almost doubled during the summer months.

Jadoul Farm in Vorsen is a historic square farm, mentioned as early as 1469. Originally owned by Susteren Abbey, it was part of the County of Loon, with a rich history of guardians such as the Van Vorsen, Van Berlo, Van Gavere, and the Count of Arenberg families. This protected monument underwent renovations, including one in 1788, and is now a working fruit farm (apple, pear, cherry) with modern holiday homes, combining tourism with agriculture and history, including covered wagon tours of the nearby tumuli.

Neoclassical country house built of limestone and brick by Théodor de Géradon in 1853. In the 19th century, the family further embellished it with two square houses. Current owner Bernard Jolly restored its original grayish-white facade. Unfortunately, the castle's charm is not visible from the road. Among the outbuildings is the old abbey farm, which dates back to the early 18th century but was later incorporated into the castle.

nice place to go on holiday

Beautiful Chapel, unfortunately the crypt is closed

The Château Rose was built by order of Albert-Pierre Stier (1745-1816). In 1776, he bought the seigniory of Orp, as it had been known since the end of the 17th century, when the land of Orp-le-Grand was merged with that of Orp-le-Petit. The pillory of Orp-le-Petit at the front is one of about fifty in Belgium that are listed by the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage. When our country was invaded by France in 1794, the French revolutionaries rushed to abolish the symbols of the Ancien Régime and the pillory was demolished. A few years later, around 1826, Baron Jean-François de Vinck de deux Orp (1774-1827), nephew of the builder of the castle, had the restored elements of the pillory rebuilt on his estate, more specifically in the central part of the meadow below the castle.
