Ambly, a picturesque village

Ambly is a picturesque small village of 400 inhabitants within the municipality of Nassogne, right at the heart
of the Famenne-Ardenne Geopark. As you walk the narrow lanes of the village, you will have an opportunity
to admire a number of noteworthy buildings. In the village itself, you will pass many a stone-built farmhouse
dating from the early 19th century, most of which have been lovingly restored. Another striking architectural
feature is the number of magnificent half-timbered houses. Ambly has seen many battles throughout its history. The Duke of Luxembourg and the Prince-Bishop of Liège warred for many long years over control of the village lands. The village nevertheless remained a “fief” of the County of Rochefort, in the province of Namur, until 1976, when the two municipalities merged.
