About the event

Perched above the Hoyoux valley, Modave Castle opens its classical salons for a Christmas trail themed on traditions from around the world. Some thirty rooms get trees, festive tables and decorations, and the façades are lit at nightfall. You visit with an audio guide included in the ticket. The castle stresses that it stays open on 24, 25 and 31 December and 1 January. On the evening of 12 December there is a violin and piano concert in the Louis XIV salon (phone booking only). Tip: come in the late afternoon so you leave as the façade lights up; last tickets are sold at 4.45 pm, and parking is free.
