The Licorne House is an example of Liege’s most ancient building type. The « Cellites Brothers» (Alexian brothers) settled there in the 17th Century. They very soon specialised in looking after mentally ill persons, and did so until 1960. Throughout the years, many other buildings were annexed and the « Fonds wallon du Logement » (Walloon housing fund) has recently remarkably well restored the whole complex in order to supply low-income families with quality flats.
