Château de Scry, castle in Wallonia
Château de Scry is a manor house built in 1757 near Mettet, constructed of stone and brick with two wings attached to the main structure. The building now sits within a walled park surrounded by trees and shrubs, with the right wing added sometime after 1847.
The château was built in 1757 by Marie-Antoinette de Henry, widow of a doctor who served the Spanish royal family. After her death in 1802, it changed hands from noble families to farming families, until being purchased and restored by the Sokal-Culot family in 1969.
The name Scry reflects the region's local heritage. Today the building displays family coats of arms on its front, marking the different periods of ownership and use.
The castle is private property and not fully open to the public, but visitors can view it from outside and explore the surrounding park. The location allows you to see the building within its landscape setting and appreciate the architectural details from the exterior.
The building sat abandoned and decayed for many years until purchased and restored by the Sokal-Culot family in 1969. Today it is managed by the grandson of Marie-Thérèse Culot, showing how a single family has preserved a historic site across generations.
