Discover Noville-Sur-Méhaigne

Noville-sur-Méhaigne combines riverside scenery, historic buildings and routes offering distinctly different experiences. The village lies on the left bank of the Méhaigne; the river flows past the Château de Noville and through marshy meadows. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Noville-Sur-Méhaigne, you can therefore consciously choose between landscapes, local history and cycling tours as the focus of your trip.

The Méhaigne and the landscape around the village

The Méhaigne is more than just a name in the village's name. It flows through marshy meadows and once powered the mill in Noville. This gives your travel planning a clear connection to the landscape: you can explore the river's course, the left bank and the area around the Château de Noville without reducing the village to a single attraction.

The routes also tell the story of the village's development. Rue du Village ends at a junction with two drèves and a paved road to Perwez. The former railway tracks through Noville-sur-Méhaigne have been replaced by the paved RAVeL. If routes and landscapes are important to you when choosing accommodation, you can include these two different types of routes in your personal travel planning.

Historic buildings

Several buildings give Noville-sur-Méhaigne a historic profile. The Notre-Dame de Hal Chapel at the junction of Rue de la Jausselette and Chaussée de Louvain dates from 1910. At Ferme des Trois Trèfles, a date stone from 1734 is set into the portal. The oldest parts of Ferme de la Haute-Aveine date from the 18th century, while the present building of Ferme-château Soldy was rebuilt in the 19th century.

The church of Noville-sur-Méhaigne is also one of the area's prominent historic landmarks. It was rebuilt in 1868, is neoclassical in design and has two small towers. These details help you distinguish the buildings chronologically and stylistically: local history spans a broad spectrum, from the 18th-century date stone to the rebuilding of the church and the Ferme-château.

Following historic routes

Noville-sur-Méhaigne can also be explored through larger historic routes. The major Roman road from Bavay to Maastricht forms the northern boundary of the Noville-sur-Méhaigne area for 3.5 kilometres. The 45-kilometre Tour d'Éghezée draws on this history: it follows the former Roman road to Noville-sur-Méhaigne.

For a cycling trip, this specific route length is an important planning factor. If you are looking for a holiday apartment as a starting point for this tour, you should consider the Tour d'Éghezée as a full-day activity and take your desired endurance and preferred pace into account. The historic Roman road offers a different way of experiencing the surroundings than the routes along the Méhaigne.

A destination with different focuses

Since 1806, pilgrims from Noville-sur-Méhaigne have taken part in the Grand Tour. This historical connection adds a religious tradition to the buildings and routes. Depending on your interests, you can therefore focus your stay more on religious buildings and local history, on the Méhaigne and its meadows, or on the 45-kilometre cycling tour. When looking for accommodation in Noville-Sur-Méhaigne, it makes sense to determine this preferred focus first and then look for a suitable holiday apartment.
