Jehay Castle

Jehay Castle is a magnificent Renaissance castle located in Amay, in the province of Liege. The castle is famous for its striking checkerboard facade of alternating white limestone and brown sandstone, unique in Belgium. The estate, owned by the Province of Liege, includes extensive gardens, a castle park and temporary exhibitions that highlight the rich cultural heritage of the region.

Accessibility on the estate is partial. The castle park and gardens are largely accessible to wheelchair users, with paved paths and adapted facilities. Parking spaces are reserved for persons with reduced mobility. The castle itself is currently undergoing thorough restoration, making the interior inaccessible to the public. However, the outdoor spaces, gardens and temporary events remain accessible and offer a pleasant experience.

Jehay Castle is situated along the N617 between Amay and Jehay-Bodegnee, a short distance from the E42. The estate offers free parking (150 spaces) and organises events, exhibitions and activities in the gardens and park throughout the year. A visit can be combined with a trip to nearby Amay or a walk along the Meuse. The castle estate is an ideal spot for a relaxing half-day outing in the green heart of the Meuse valley.
