This water mill from 1729 really takes you back to times gone by! It was built alongside a watercourse, the second tributary of the Ourthe, that created an island (the island of Oneux) in the heart of the town. It used to be the town mill and all the inhabitants were under the obligation to resort to this mill (that belonged to the lord of the fiefdom) to have their corn ground. With this came a second obligation; that of paying a tax, called “multure” that was proportional to the quantity of grain or corn.The mill functioned up to the 1960’s and bears the name of its last owner, Mister Lucien Faber, who wished to open the mill to the public. In 1989, the mill was acquired by the Hotton council.Inside the mill, spread out over 4 floors, you can admire the ingeniousness displayed by the millers in times gone by : the machinery, the millstones, the bolter, the granary…Outside, you can admire the two wheels that are driven by a tributary of the Ourthe…You can visit the mill upon prior request ; please contact the Hotton Tourist Information Office.More information?

The three menhirs in Oppagne are part of the exceptional ensemble of megalithic monuments that are dotted across the council of Durbuy, covering an area that is over 8km long and 300 m wide. They date back to 5,000 years ago, the era of the first Neolithic famers. The word ‘menhir’ comes from the Breton word ‘men’ meaning stone, and ‘hir’ meaning long. The menhirs in Oppagne are 2 to 2,7 m high. They are in puddingstone – a naturally occurring rock akin to cement – a rock that was quarried and put to use locally until the First World War.
