Must see attractions in it
The Castle of Antoing is one of Belgium's most original and well-known castles. It was first mentioned in the 12th century. Although the castle dates from the 13th and 15th century, it was redesigned in neo-gothic style in the 19th century by the famous French architect Viollet-le-Duc (1814-1879). Other Belgian castles built in such style include Faulx-les-Tombes and La Posterie (in Courriere), both about 15 km south of Namur.
