The Castle Foncin was built in 1869 if we refer to the vintage that adorns the key of the front door for the solicitor Octave Foncin. The architect who has designed the plans was probably Omer Bodson, a friend of the painter and watercolourist Nestor Outer.

additional description

The Castle Foncin was built in 1869 if we refer to the vintage that adorns the key of the front door for the solicitor Octave Foncin. The architect who has designed the plans was probably Omer Bodson, a friend of the painter and watercolourist Nestor Outer. Built in blocks of limestone matched up, bricks and small granite, this beautiful volume is flanked by a lovely porch with a cast-iron frame on top of it. Restored from top to bottom, this residence representative of the urban architecture from the second half of the 19th century shelters now the Justice of the Peace. The town has developed a very beautiful public park with trees at the back of the property.
