Mélin is one of Wallonia’s most beautiful villages. It is known for its Gobertange white stone from a local quarry. Due to its beauty and quality this material has been used by many architects to build grandiose monuments such as the Grand Place and the Hôtel de Ville in Brussels.

Belgium’s tallest Gallo-Roman tumulus has had protected heritage status since 1971. It stands at 15 metres tall with a diameter of 52 metres and dates back to the 2nd century. It was probably the tomb of a rich landowner and was placed along an important Roman road. In the past, communal festivals would have been celebrated on the peak and some events still take place today at its foot. For example, Gallo-Roman Days are held there at the end of May and feature many activities including a gladiator combat performance.

Pastur Castle also goes by another name: Castle of the Count.This is because the castle was the residence of the Counts of Duras from the 11th century. At the time it was just a small fortification set on a rock flanked by the Gette river and Saint Jean stream.This location provided excellent natural defences.In the 15th century the castle had already become a kind of seigneurial farmhouse and underwent several developments during the early decades of the 16th century. In 1730 the count of Romrée commissioned transformations that gave the castle its current classical style. Stables were built (the current Barouche Room) with the walls and impressive double ogival windows, dating back to the Gothic era and lasting to this day, bearing testament to the building’s history.The castle has been listed as a historic monument since 1971 and takes its name from the notary Philippe Pastur who was the owner in the 19th century.For a time the castle was used as boarding for the school of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart and the management of a school. Today it houses Jodoigne town hall as well as the public library and toy library.

A protected site on Wallonia’s exceptional heritage list, you cannot miss the impressive site of the old La Ramée Abbey. It is remarkably well preserved and serves as a reminder of the region’s farming architecture. Its spectacular barn (from 1722) is believed to be the biggest in the country! The exceptional size of this building, designed to store harvests, shows the extent of the land belonging to the ecclesiastical institution.La Ramée Abbey is today used to host events, receptions and seminars.It also has a fruiticum where more than 350 species of endangered plants are protected.The property is privately owned.

This castle was rebuilt around 1865 on the former medieval site of which only the old seigneurial keep remains to this day with the new castle built on top. Its patron was Baron Jean-Marie Osy de Zegwaart and the castle was restored and transformed by the architect Parent from Lille.After being abandoned for 40 years there was a serious fire at the castle on 18 February 2020 and today only the impressive walls remain.The castle and its estate are privately owned.

This listed chapel with impressive proportions and dedicated to the virgin Mary was consecrated in 1353. It resulted from the residents’ need to have a place of worship within the town walls.At a height of 27 metres it towers over the Grand'Place in Jodoigne. It is made from Gobertange stone which makes it bright and has a remarkable spiral steeple.It was restored between 2008 and 2011. Today it is also used for non-religious purposes such as exhibitions by the Jodoigne Cultural Centre as well as a mass on Thursday mornings.There are also interesting items in an adjoining room such as recumbent statues of Wynand de Glimes, the viscount of Jodoigne, and his wife Michelle d'Yedeghem.

The current Saint Médard’s church in Jodoigne, dating from the 13th century, is a listed building and justifiably recognised as a jewel of Walloon Brabant. This large Roman and Gothic style building, listed as exceptional heritage of Wallonia, was restored to its original splendour in the 1970s.This church was built near the former church, which was bequeathed to the Order of the Hospital in 1180 by Gilles de Duras, and close to a former Gallic religious site.As soon as you enter, the hot and white Gobertange limestone gives the building its glow. From the wide transept, the eye is drawn to the semi-circular apse and simple polychrome statues, including one of the patron saint, Médard, an evangelist bishop born in 457, who had a reputation as a ‘rain maker’. If you stare at the statue of the saint you get the impression that he is smiling at you.

A fortified farmhouse can be found in the centre of the village of Opprebais, a former military castle dating back to the 13th century. It has imposing walls made from Opprebais quartzite, features four towers and was formerly surrounded by a moat.It was turned into a farmhouse in the 17th century. It is part of a protected site which includes the nearby Saint Aubain’s Romanesque church.
