Ligne 112A Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
The Hainaut coal basins railway company inaugurated the pedestrian section in Trazegnies on January 1, 1869.
It will subsequently be extended towards Courcelles-Center on February 1, 1873 and towards the junction of Wilbeauroux (near Roux) on May 23, 1874.
It was for a time referred to as a segment of line 121, from Lambusart to Wilbeauroux, commissioned from 1874 to 1880.
Passenger traffic was suspended on June 3, 1984 on line 112A.
In the process, the line was closed to goods between Courcelles-Center and Piéton on September 27, 1987 and between Roux and Courcelles-Center on November 24, 1992; on this section, the rails were dismantled between 2004 and 2005.

RAVeL Line 141
Highlight • Cycleway
There was a construction site in Seneffe, and I couldn't go any further than the canal bridge.
But it's possible from here to Nivelles.
But there are a few bumps in the surface.

The swing bridge of Arquennes
Highlight • Bridge
The bridge is actually a double-decker bridge, with a raised fixed section for pedestrians and a movable section at street level for car traffic. The car bridge rotated on its horizontal axis in the middle of the canal so that two passageways were created at an open bridge.
The bridge was classified as a site on November 7, 1978 and classified as a monument on August 4, 1989 by the province of Hainaut.
Since the old canal has been replaced by a wider canal and the Inclined Plane of Ronquières has taken over the function of the many locks on the old canal, the bridge has become a permanent structure and both the pedestrian bridge and the central pontoon in the canal have fallen into disrepair .

Feluy Castle
Highlight • Castle
The old castle, surrounded by its pond and moats, is the work of Eustache de Bousie. A remarkable round tower portal, formerly passed by a drawbridge and dating from the XIIIth century, was built at the entrance to the castle; on his left is a 15th century fortified fortress. The original building, whose facade remains from the former fence, was destroyed in the 18th century by order of the Countess of Blois, Canon of Nivelles and replaced by the classical house that still exists today.
The seriousness of the whole is balanced by a loggia overlooking a goose pond and a beautiful pier. The chateau was restored and renovated in 1940, and more recently by the current owners.
