TRAVEL THE WORLD - JEHAY CASTLE, BELGIUM


My cousins took us to Jehay castle near Liege in 2008. The castle, which was was built in the 16th Century, has been owned by the family of Guy van den Steen since 1680. Extensive renovation work was done following World War II. The castle has a moat, as you can see in the photo. It is set in beautiful grounds and is furnished as it would have been at the time it was built.

TRAVEL THE WORLD - LIEGE, BELGIUM


My cousins took us to Jehay castle near Liege in 2008. This exquisite clock was only one of many lovely things to look at in the castle which was was built in the 16th Century. After World War II Count Guy van den Steen, whose family has owned the castle since 1680, undertook major restoration work. This included beautiful new furnishings from the period when the castle was originally constructed. There are also attractively landscaped grounds.
