♿ Wheelchair accessible

The Domaine de Palogne is a recreational and cultural estate located in the picturesque Ourthe valley near Ferrieres in the province of Liege. The estate is built around the ruins of the Castle of Logne, an 11th-century fortress that was once the stronghold of the infamous Wild Boar gang. Today, the estate combines a visit to the castle ruins and its associated museum with outdoor activities such as kayaking on the Ourthe, an artisan bakery and medieval workshops.

Accessibility at the Domaine de Palogne is partial. The reception building, museum and artisan bakery are accessible to wheelchair users. Designated accessible parking spaces are available at the entrance and adapted toilet facilities in the visitor centre. The castle ruins themselves are situated on a hill and are not accessible to wheelchair users due to the steep and unpaved terrain. However, the museum section near the reception provides a comprehensive overview with scale models and audiovisual presentations.

The Domaine de Palogne is located at Rue du Peri 3 in Vieuxville-Ferrieres and is accessible via the E25 (Aywaille exit). The estate is an ideal destination for a family day out in the Ardennes and offers activities for everyone. Kayak trips on the Ourthe depart from the estate and are a popular summer activity. A visit can be combined with a trip to Durbuy or a walk along the Ourthe. The estate has a tavern with terrace.
