This eighteenth-century mansion in the old town is one of the most elegant survivals of bourgeois Namur. Built in the 1750s for a noble family and bought by the city in 1935, it is now run as a decorative arts museum: a sequence of rooms restored to their original use, with painted ceilings, period furniture, porcelain, glass and silverware.
The garden, walled and laid out in a discreet French style, is one of the prettiest hidden corners of the city. Combine with a visit to the nearby Trésor d'Oignies, an extraordinary collection of medieval goldsmith's work, for a focused dose of Namur's craft tradition.
