Herstal, Industrial municipality in Liège Province, Belgium
Herstal extends along the Meuse River within the Greater Liège metropolitan area, encompassing the districts of Liers, Milmort, and Vottem.
The settlement dates back to the fifth millennium BC and later became the residence of Pippin, who established the foundation for the Carolingian dynasty.
The municipality maintains strong ties to its manufacturing heritage through the presence of the Fabrique Nationale armaments factory, established in 1889.
The Haut-Sart industrial zone offers employment opportunities across 200 companies, including aerospace firms and manufacturing facilities.
The name Herstal originates from Franconian language elements that translate to 'army resting place,' reflecting its military historical connections.
