Château d'Attre
This pretty château lies 6 km (4 miles) southeast of Ath. It was built in 1752 by François-Philippe Franeau d’Hyon atop the ruins of an older castle and possesses all the neoclassical ambitions of that era, with a fleet of Rococo-style rooms. In the late 18th century, its grounds were popular with hunting parties, and the remains of an artificial "mound" (known as the Rocher) used for sighting deer survives. The surrounding parkland makes for a pleasant stroll.
