Forge Museum
The Forge Museum, also known as the ‘Forge of happiness’, is the only survivor of Ittre’s 8 forges. This authentic forge has maintained the appearance it had in 1957 when the last blacksmith ceased his activity. On the initiative of blacksmith students who wanted to try their hand at the trade, the forge resumed activity in 1999. Activities are now organised there and the blacksmith is even at work! The museum shows how the blacksmith profession has evolved through the ages. You can see the tools and equipment necessary for the work of blacksmiths and farriers.Inspired by a Scottish custom, newlyweds can received the ‘recipe of happiness’ from the blacksmith as well as a horseshoe during a ceremony held in front of the anvil.
Saint-Remy church
Dedicated to Saint Rémy who baptized Clovis, king of the Franks, at the end of the 5th century, this church in Ittre in Roman Païs became the setting for a treasure entrusted to it by the last nuns of Aywières fleeing the French Revolution... The present edifice (1898), in Neo-Romanesque ogival style, incorporates the Gothic chapel of Notre Dame d'Ittre, which dates from 1590, in the northern side-aisle. This replaced the previous one, dating from 1351. Inside, the extraordinary pictorial decoration recalls some Romanesque churches of France (in particular the medallions devoted to the 12 apostles, with an extremely rare depiction of Judas). The amazing vaults with their integrated iron framework, according to the method of Gustave Eiffel, and the ciborium (canopy above the altar) in polychrome wood lend a distinguished note to the entire edifice. The oak statue of Notre-Dame of Ittre, in the old chapel, was venerated throughout the ages. It is originally from Bois-Seigneur-Isaac, a village close to Nivelles, and dates from approximately 1270. During the plague of 1336, Notre-Dame de Bois-Seigneur-Isaac was carried through the region from village to village in the hope of stopping the pestilence. When the epidemic ended, Ittre no longer wanted to return the statue, believed to be miraculous, and built a chapel for it. The stained glass windows of Notre-Dame of Ittre illustrate this story and that of the pilgrimage that began in 1336. Saint Remy Church also has an interesting treasury, given to it by the last nuns of Aywières fleeing the French Revolution. Among the items saved is the shrine of Saint Lutgardis, a nun of the Cistercian abbey of Aywières deceased in 1246. It is a 1624 piece from Liège in repoussé silver. But the treasury also contains the wooden shrine of Saint Sybille de Cages (1643), as well as a reliquary of the True Cross from the 15th century. If you are curious and attentive, you may find in the façade of the present church a little rosary cross, placed there by a worker from Ittre who participated in the construction of the building...
Marthe Donas Museum
Entering the Marthe Donas Museum in Ittre takes you on a journey to the land of abstract art, and more specifically cubism.Set in the Chapelle des Sœurs de l’Enfant-Jésus, the museum looks back on the life and career of the artist Marthe Donas through her drawings and paintings. Originally from Antwerp, Marthe Donas (1885-1967) discovered cubism and modernism in Paris during World War I. By 1920 her work was already exhibited across Europe and she intrigued the avant-garde under the male pseudonym of Tour Donas. The collections at the Marthe Donas Museum consist of around 40 paintings by Marthe Donas, 70 works by Guillaume Vanden Borre and 40 pieces (paintings, engravings, drawings, sculptures…) by Pierre Caille.
