Gardens of Castle of Freÿr
Gardens of Castle of Freÿr, Castle garden in Hastière, Belgium
Gardens of Castle of Freÿr extend across stone-walled terraces along the Meuse River, featuring symmetrical patterns, ponds, and fountains against limestone cliffs.
The Coffee Treaty between France and Spain was signed at Freÿr in 1675, marking the first documented serving of coffee in Belgium during Louis XIV's visit.
Twenty generations of the same family have maintained these Renaissance-style gardens, designed in 1760 by Canon Guillaume de Beaufort-Spontin with French formal influences.
The gardens welcome visitors from March to November, with guided tours available and a dedicated smartphone application providing detailed information about the property.
The gardens house a collection of orange trees imported from Lunéville, with some specimens being over 350 years old, representing Europe's oldest potted trees.
