Farms, cultivated land and historical evidence shape the landscape, along with a distillery offering guided tours.

Rural Hesbaye landscape
The villages of Fexhe-le-Haut-Clocher retain the character of small Hesbaye villages. Several farms form part of this landscape, while cultivated areas separate the individual villages. As a result, the landscape is structured not only by built-up areas but also by fields and meadows. This provides a clear contrast to a purely urban stay when planning your trip: you can get to know the area through its villages, its agriculturally shaped surroundings and its historical sites.
The „Au Sud de Fexhe-le-Haut-Clocher“ route offers a suitable perspective. It passes through a landscape of cultivated fields or meadows as well as small hamlets and local districts. It also follows an old Roman road. This combination makes the route appealing to travellers who do not want to view the landscape separately from its history. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore consider whether such excursions should be the focus of your stay or whether you want to combine different themes.
Peace of Fexhe and historical evidence
A central reference point in the history of the area is the Peace of Fexhe, signed on 18 June 1316. The agreement was concluded between the prince-bishop, the canons, representatives of the good cities and the great knights. A memorial stone erected in 1994 at the presumed site of the signing commemorates this event. Those interested in the political and social history of the Middle Ages will find a concrete reason here to view Fexhe-Le-Haut-Clocher not only as a rural location but also as a historical site.
The Saint-Martin church offers further impressions. It stands on a hill considered to be the last remnant of a medieval motte and is situated in the middle of a fortified cemetery. The west tower is probably of Romanesque origin. The Ferme Portier adds to this historic landscape: the square-shaped farm typical of Hesbaye dates from the 18th century and was formerly known as Ferme Gromzelle. In addition, traces of settlement dating from prehistoric times through to the Roman era have been uncovered in Fexhe-le-Haut-Clocher.
