Château de Chokier

The village is dominated by the Château de Chokier, an 18th-century rebuild of a medieval castle, standing on a cliff overlooking the Meuse valley.

For centuries the castle was owned by the Surlet de Chokier family, which included the Baron Surlet de Chokier who was Regent of Belgium in 1831 before the Belgian Revolution.

There are traces of human habitation from the Palaeolithic period.
