FAQ

Huy is a French-speaking town located in the Province of Liege, at the confluence of the Hoyoux with the Meuse, halfway between Namur and Liege. The town of Huy has 21,500 inhabitants. Due to its location as a stopover town for the inland waterways, the town of Huy grew up in a favourable economic climate and was home to numerous trades. The most powerful trade was that of goldsmiths. The castle built on a hill overlooking the Meuse was gradually transformed into a fortress. The people of Huy now call it the "Fort of Huy" and it is the pride of the inhabitants. Of the "four wonders" of the city of Huy, only two still exist today: Li Bassinia, a fountain whose oldest part dates from the 15th century. Li Rondia, the rose window of the collegiate church of Notre-Dame, with a diameter of 9 metres. The other two wonders were Li Tchestia, the castle of the prince-bishops destroyed in the 18th century, and Li Pontia, the old bridge of the city, destroyed by the war and replaced today by the Baudouin bridge.
