context_page_description: The "ferme castrale" of Hermalle-sous-Huy, located near the Meuse between Huy and Liège in Belgium, is the old farm of the castle of Hermalle and dates from 1642. Since the 1990s it has become a center of culture and tourism based on food and drink history.
context_section_description: The exterior walls are brick on a sandstone and limestone dado.
  The stone frames of openings differ depending on the period of construction ; some door lintels were also changed in the nineteenth century for the sake of aesthetics.
  The slate hip roof with gable is planted on slopes overlooking the courtyard, with dormer windows.
  The facades visible from the street are all different:
  North (street Gerée), the facade has elements of the seventeenth century - including the rebate of the deck of the drawbridge, the portal amounts to harp and loggia - from the eighteenth century and nineteenth century for the openings.
  In the east alley near the church Saint-Martin, it notes, following the expansion of the building, industrial architecture.
  South (road Freddy Terwagne), it is partially hidden by a high perimeter wall in the nineteenth century opened by a door dated 1641 and carved with the arms of Count d'Ursel - where the public enters.
  The exterior of the eighteenth century West wing, overlooking the front courtyard of the castle (private) is not available and was hidden in the nineteenth century by the building of a wall with trompe-l'œil.
