Old Buzenol Railway Station
Highlight • Monument
It was decommissioned in 1938. The abolition of the line followed a good ten years later, in 1951.
It was converted into a nature center thanks to a professor from Ghent, Doctor Van Oye, a nature enthusiast, who rented the building to the SNCB.
In the 1960s, it developed to become the Center de Buzenol, an educational service of the Royal Institute of Natural Sciences of Belgium, under the leadership of Edmond Fouss, promoter of Gaume heritage and founder of the Gaume Museum in Virton .
This project even gained momentum thanks to the former mayor of Ethe Elie Deworme in the years that followed. A new building was built between the old station and the Farm of Bâr to allow the accommodation of green classes.
Currently, this center is incorporated into the educational structure of the Ecole Normale de Virton.

Contemporary Art Center of Belgian Luxembourg
Highlight • Monument
It retained a “nomadic” status until 1994, the year that marked its establishment on the Grange du Faing site in Jamoigne. Since 2007, it has been located on the Montauban-Buzenol site where it offers the creation of temporary monumental and environmental works in an area devoted to archaeology, heritage and nature.

Highlight • Religious Site
It still bears the scars of the First World War. The exterior walls reddened by the fire are still visible witnesses.
