Torgny

Torgny is a small village within Rouvroy situated at Belgium's southernmost border point with France. The settlement consists of traditional houses built with warm-colored stone and red tile roofs spread across gentle rolling terrain.

The village developed at a historically significant border junction shaped by its position at Belgium's strategic southern frontier. The Chapel of Notre-Dame du Luxembourg with its hermitage was established following the plague epidemic of 1636 and was later expanded in 1729.

The Pink Farm displays architectural elements from 1838, including a notable door lintel and traditional pink rendering characteristic of regional building methods.

The village sits along a country road accessible from Rouvroy and can be easily explored on foot. Most visitor services and administrative matters are handled by the Rouvroy municipal offices during standard weekday hours.

Its position on the warmest spot in Belgium allows grape cultivation, which is uncommon in this northern region. Local vineyards such as Le Poirier du Loup and Les Fouchères take advantage of this favorable microclimate.
