Built on an impressive rocky spur, this exceptional heritage site has conserved traces of each period of its 2000-year-old history. Once a residence for the Counts of Namur in the Middle Ages, then transformed into a holiday home by King Leopold II, it is now a sought-out location for events, guided visits and walks in a verdant surrounding with spectacular views over the city.

Situated in the ancient barracks of Terra Nova, the Visitors’ Centre is a must-see before embarking on your journey. You will discover 2000 years of urban and military history alongside the history of Namur and its Citadel, thanks to a dynamic and educational set up.
