Tourist Office Houffalize

Charming spot at the confluence of the Ourthe and Cowan rivers... take time to listen to the sounds of the water and the forest.

In the late 18th and 19th centuries, Houffalize was an important tanning and milling centre. The remains of the Lemaire mill and tannery can still be seen along the Ourthe, in Rue du Moulin Lemaire. The mill dates back to the 18th century, while the Lemaire tannery was founded around 1830 and "made strong leather", which was used to make soles, while another neighbouring tannery "made uppers and corroirs".

The Vayamundo Houffalize holiday centre offers you a relaxing break in the Ourthe valley, in the heart of the authentic Ardennes.

Saint-Remy church dates back to the 17th century, with remarkable furnishings, including three 18th-century altars, a pulpit, confessionals and statues of Sainte-Barbe, Saint-Gengoux and Saint-Rémi.
