Cron de Montauban

Highlight • Natural Monument

The site extends about 2 km south of the village of Buzenol, on the left side of the Gros Ruisseau valley, in a largely forested environment (beech grove, among others). The cron, name given to the petrifying limestone springs, currently appears as a steeply sloping clearing facing south and tumbled down by rivulets with crystal clear water, which are fed by two springs located a little below the archaeological park of Montauban . There is remarkably contrasting vegetation and ecological conditions: thus an arid calcareous grassland with blue sesleria (Sesleria caerulea), an alkaline marsh with molinia (Molinia caerulea), dry or wet rocky slabs, a sedge meadow rub shoulders over a short distance. with scaly sedge (Carex lepidocarpa), pioneer thickets of willow (Salix spp.) and buckthorn (Frangula alnus), thermophilic preforest fringes, etc. The flora includes many rare species such as parnassia (Parnassia palustris) and flea sedge (Carex pulicaris), both highly threatened in Wallonia. The local fauna is just as remarkable: the site is, for example, the favorite habitat of a rare dragonfly, the bidentate cordulegaster (Cordulegaster bidentatus), whose larvae develop in the thin streams of water. On this same slope there are several other crons also very interesting but largely under forest cover.

The Treveri Harvester – Lapidary Museum of Montauban

Highlight • Historical Site

The Musée Lapidaire is a museum that displays the archaeological remains of a Celtic and medieval hilltop fortification in the Belgian province of Luxembourg. You can explore the Montauban Archaeological Park, where you will see traces of the ancient walls, ditches and towers that protected the site from invaders. You can also visit the Lapidary Museum, a modern building that displays the original bas-reliefs found on the site, depicting scenes from daily life and funerary rituals of the Gallo-Roman people who lived in the region in the 2nd century AD. -C. One of the most famous reliefs is that of the church of Montauban. One of the most famous reliefs is the Trévires Harvester, a stone sculpture depicting a harvesting machine used by the local Trévires tribe. The Lapidary Museum is a fascinating place to discover the rich and diverse history of this part of Europe.

Contemporary Art Center of Belgian Luxembourg

Highlight • Monument

Created in 1984, the Belgian Luxembourg Contemporary Art Center (CACLB) was born as part of a decentralization policy initiated by the Ministry of the French Community of Belgium.

It retained a “nomadic” status until 1994, the year that marked its establishment on the Grange du Faing site in Jamoigne. Since 2007, it has been located on the Montauban-Buzenol site where it offers the creation of temporary monumental and environmental works in an area devoted to archaeology, heritage and nature.

Montauban Archaeological Site and Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Nestled in the heart of the Gaume forest, the Montauban site is a mecca for archeology where vestiges of the past, history, heritage, natural riches and contemporary art meet.

Past and present intertwine to make it a place imbued with magic. This place of refuge presents the ruins of a castle that legend attributes to the four Sons of Aymon.

A true temple built in honor of Roman sculpture, the lapidary museum fits perfectly into this unique and magical place.

Throughout the year, the Contemporary Art Center of Belgian Luxembourg schedules exhibitions and artistic interventions outdoors as well as in the forges office and in the René Greisch space.
