Fun fact: the name of Solre-sur-Sambre originates from the Celtic word sol-ara meaning "muddy water". Solre-sur-Sambre is located at the confluence of the Thure, which borders the fortified castle and feeds its moat, and the Sambre. This is the home of Prince Amaury de Mérode, and the home is therefore not open to visitors.
