Our Lady of the Roses Hospital
The history of the Notre-Dame à la Rose Hospital takes us back in time since we owe its foundation to Alix de Rosoit, in 1242. This hospital will become a real place of asylum and care for the sick and the destitute of the city during its eight centuries of activity. A site recognized as a major heritage in Wallonia and Europe! Its cachet of exceptional heritage, the Notre-Dame à la Rose Hospital owes it in the first place to the quality of the building and its remarkable state of conservation. It is a witness to medical history with its beautiful garden of singles, its two patient rooms and its pharmacy. A discovery tour through 20 newly designed rooms tells the story of the life and evolution of hospitals and healthcare from the Middle Ages to the present day.

Discovery of the château and the Demeuldre Coché collection “in situ” under the guidance of an outstanding guide! Magnificent and exciting - we learned a lot about our heritage ?? with starry eyes! First a medieval tower built not far from an ancient Roman roadway, documented in 1389, then transformed into a fortified house, the castle entered the Florence family of Moreau de Villegas de St-Pierre in 1716. Brought up to date in In the 1870s, according to the criteria of madness of grandeur and eclecticism, it was redesigned by the great architect Désiré Limbourg. From the dining room with its emblazoned family service and its crystal gobletware, to the kitchen with its battery of copper saucepans, passing through the ironing room with its authentic wooden calender and the marquises' bedroom where the petticoats of lace and ball gowns, the Château de Louvignies welcomes you as its guest, in its exceptional 19th century setting. You will be welcomed there by the chatelaine and her ancestors, the Count and Countess Léon de Villegas de St-Pierre whose family memories, diaries and photo albums have been carefully preserved, to help you discover the life of Down Town Abbey, between masters and servants. You will then stroll through its 14 hectare English-style park, a marvelous green setting, designed by Louis Fuchs in 1870. In a still protected nature, it has 25 remarkable trees, some of which are classified as a Virginia Tulip Tree dating from 1880 Icehouse, stables with beautiful blue stone troughs and vegetable garden complete this exceptional ensemble.

L'Espace Gallo-Romain
The Gallo Roman Museum displays remarkable well-preserved ships from the Roman era, which were found in Pommeroeul with rich archaeological findings. Most of the museum's collection originate from the vicus (town) of Pommeroeul, a small town enjoying a special position as the meeting point of a road (Bavay-Blicquy) and a river (the Haine). Its location probably gave it a predominant role in commerce and crafts in the regions to the north of the ancient town of Bavay. The vicus was found by chance in the 1970s, buried beneath wet soil, during digging work on the new Mons-Condé canal. Today, thanks to its striking remains, we have greater insight into navigation, technical skills and other aspects of life in antiquity. The objects speak The Gallo Roman Museum leaves the objects "to speak for themselves", by bringing scientific knowledge and the public's knowledge closer together, distinguishing authentic objects from reconstitutions. The further we go back in time, the more the collections come to life. As visitors go up from one floor to the next, they delve more deeply into the private lives of the objects, as if they were making a journey back in time from today to the second century A.D. Guided by boats From a spatial point of view, the visitor, with or without a guide, progressively ""zooms in"" on the site, beginning with an aerial view, passing via the boats, and ending with the evocation of daily life during antiquity. A fictional character, Rufus , a boatman accompanies the visitor, bringing to life the wharves, the fishermen and daily life, while leaving intact the strong emotional dimension of the ancient objects. At the reception desk, visitors receive a "smart" ticket: a sesterce allowing them to operate the different video monitors that can be found all over the museum. At the boutique a large number of works devoted to archaeology are on sale, as well as attractive reproductions of antique objects.

Pleasant and very interesting visit. It was during the summer of 1975 that a Gallo-Roman site of international importance was uncovered at a depth of 2.5m in Pommerœul, near Bernissart. The remains reveal a site occupied from the Neolithic period to the Roman era. The most important occupation is revealed in the form of a Gallo-Roman settlement located at the crossroads of a road (Bavay-Blicquy) and a river (La Haine). A situation which probably gave it a preponderant commercial and artisanal role for the regions located north of the ancient city of Bavay. Pommerœul had port areas, homes and crafts, wells, necropolises, etc. A visit to the Gallo-Roman Space is the opportunity to discover two large boats from the Roman period, the canoe and the barge, the latter being recognized as a Treasure by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. You will also be able to observe archaeological objects made of wood and leather, materials which are rarely preserved over time.
As a family, group or individual, immerse yourself in the history, daily life of the Gallo-Romans, navigation and ancient know-how.
