Sohier, One of the Most Beautiful Villages in Wallonia

Perched on a sandstone ridge running from west to east, Sohier instantly captivates with the charm and harmony of its architectural heritage. Traditional houses, old farms, a church, a presbytery, and a castle form a remarkably maintained and restored ensemble.

As a typical linear village, Sohier is best discovered along its main street, where buildings—sometimes standing alone, sometimes grouped in short terraced rows—tell the story of the area. Most of these natural stone constructions date back to the 19th century, giving the village a fine architectural unity.

This exceptional quality earned Sohier the label of one of the "Most Beautiful Villages of Wallonia", a distinction it also owes to the dedication and passion of its residents. Every year, as soon as warm weather returns, the village bursts into stunning floral displays that delight visitors and walkers alike.

The natural stone used in Sohier comes from two distinct sources: limestone from the Calestienne—located 1.5 km to the north—and sandstone.
