NG23 Promenade de la Diglette - Nassogne - Blue cross markings

The Fourneau St-Michel is a remarkable architectural ensemble in the heart of the Ardennes forest. It is dedicated to the architecture and way of life of the Ardennes of yesteryear. A museum and buildings also testify to the iron industry in the 18th century. Houses, farms, a school and a chapel were transferred to a park with great scientific rigour to testify to the traditional rural architecture of southern Wallonia. An exceptional blast furnace from the 18th century bears witness to the early iron and steel industry. It was built by the last abbot of St-Hubert, Dom Nicolas Spirlet. You can also enjoy the recreational and culinary aspects of this rejuvenating site, as there is a playground at the heart of the estate. The site is also of undeniable importance for the flora and fauna of our region, with a wide variety of species.
