History

The hamlet of Farnières is located at the crossroads of very old paths which led from Vielsalm to Saint Jacques and from Lierneux to Grand-Halleux then Prussia. Saint Jacques was a stage of pilgrimage to Compostela. In 1926, Fernand Orban de Xivry, a nobleman involved in many early works, built a castle there. What was to be a hunting lodge will receive a chapel, classrooms and a dormitory, and will be donated by the family to the Salesian Fathers of Don Bosco. Currently, the castle is occupied by the CRH Don Bosco and the FOX spiritual center.

On the site of Farnières, there is a small very old chapel. Its origin is not known but the legend tells about its history. In the 14th century, a beggar discovered a statue of the virgin at the foot of a tree. He offered the statue to the Lord of Rosister who placed it in the chapel of his castle. However, the statuette stubbornly returned to the place of its discovery, the lord then understood that it was necessary to build a chapel there.

This was a great experience. As expected the room and food was basic but nevertheless good. The walks around the monastery are fabulous so if you like walking and nature I would highly recommend. I dealt with Marie-Pierre regarding my booking and she was excellent. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
