The Ferme-Château du Sart hosts corporate meetings, team-building days, weddings and private parties for up to 500 people. It stands in Ampsin, in the municipality of Amay, between Namur and Liège and close to the E42 motorway. Three indoor rooms, a courtyard and a 50-hectare estate give organisers a lot of room to plan indoors and outdoors.
Seminars and company events
The venue presents corporate events and team building as part of its offer. The large gardens and the different rooms allow a flexible layout: a plenary session in one room, lunch in another, activities outside. The Grange suits conferences as well as large dinners, and the Aile nord-ouest holds the biggest groups. The site is a private estate, so a group can work without outside traffic. The parking area takes up to 300 cars, which helps when many guests arrive by road.
Weddings and receptions
The owners describe the place as a reference for weddings for more than 40 years. Receptions can take place indoors and outdoors whatever the weather. Secular ceremonies can be held in the gardens, and photos are taken near the pond, in the landscaped gardens and in the orchards. A courtyard fitted with large parasols covers more than 200 m². Family parties such as birthdays and reunions are also accepted.
Rooms and capacities
Three rooms are available.
The Aile nord-ouest measures 350 m². It seats 200 and takes 300 for a cocktail. It has been fully renovated, with brick walls, a natural stone floor and designed lighting.
The Grange measures 200 m². It seats 150 and takes 300 for a cocktail. Dating from the 16th century, it has exposed beams and a contemporary interior. It has a bar area, party lighting and toilets, and two entrances, one on the courtyard side and one on the garden side. The venue lists large meals, evenings, concerts and conferences as uses.
The Fenil measures 150 m². It seats 80 and takes 150 for a cocktail or a ceremony. It is on the upper floor of the former 17th-century hay loft, with a bar, a lounge corner, exposed beams and air conditioning.
Accommodation
A modern gîte on site has six double bedrooms, bathrooms, a living room and a kitchen. It sleeps 6 or 12 people. It is booked for two nights, from Friday to Sunday noon on weekends. This suits a wedding party or a small management team staying overnight.
History and setting
The Ferme-Château du Sart dates from the 16th century and stands above the Meuse valley at the end of a long driveway lined with purple maples. The estate has an inner courtyard, a walnut grove, orchards, ornamental gardens and a pond. A collection of contemporary artworks is placed in the gardens, the rooms and the courtyard.
Getting there
The estate is between Namur and Liège, close to the E42. Parking is on site. The venue does not give a rail access description on the pages we read, so organisers should ask about the nearest station and shuttle options when they send a request.
