Un Écomusée, un territoire, une histoire...
L’Écomusée du Viroin est un musée vivant au cœur du Parc National de l'Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse. Le musée propose à ses visiteurs de (re)découvrir la vie paysanne de la vallée du Viroin et l’histoire de la société rurale et ses mutations entre le XVIIIe et le XXe siècle.
Le musée, implanté sur le site authentique de la ferme-château de Treignes, explore et questionne les savoir-faire artisanaux des communautés villageoises. Il est également un miroir des évolutions culturelles et sociales qui ont traversé la région depuis deux siècles.
Au travers de recherches scientifiques (DIRE-ULB), de la valorisation d'une vaste collection (outils, mobiliers, machines agricoles, affiches...), d'événements et d'animations pédagogiques, le musée vous invite à plonger dans l'histoire des campagnes wallonnes.
Le Site de la Ferme-Château de Treignes.
The fortified farm of Treignes offers its visitors a complex of buildings of very different ages. The first stone of the farm-castle of Treignes was laid at the beginning of the 16th century. Initially, a simple tower for the defense and affirmation of seigniorial power, the extensions of the 17th and 18th centuries confirm the gradual reorientation of the building into a farm: stables, servants' quarters, family dwelling, dairy, etc. In 1979, an arsonist undermined this beautiful architectural ensemble by burning down the imposing barn, of which only rare photos and the preserved ruins can maintain the collective memory. In 1983, the building was bought by the Free University of Brussels (ULB) to install what will become, after 10 years of restoration work, the Viroin Ecomuseum.
