La Cour de Cortenbach

The house named Cour de Cortenbach owes its name to the family which purchased it at the start of the 17th century. This building was also the home to a court-leet just like the previous two (Vreuschemen and Nereth). The oldest part boasts a superb façade made up of two levels with seven spans set in a facing of rough-hewn sandstone blocks to the left and rough-hewn calcareous stone blocks to the right. The entrance to the court yard is marked by two square pillars bearing the inscriptions "Cortenbach and Lindenhof". In the 19th century, the wing located on the left was considerably transformed by the Récollectine sisters of Eupen who set up a hostel for young girls which is now today a retirement home.
