Description

After the demolition of the city fortifications, part of the vacant land (Eindries) was sold to the prominent Liedts family. Charles Liedts, an important Belgian lawyer and statesman, had a country residence built there around 1860. After successful diplomatic negotiations with France, he became a baron and chose "All for Duty" as his motto. This family motto can still be seen on the cartouches of the current castle. Charles' son, Amedée Liedts, remodeled the original building and had his initials inscribed in the windows. In 1907, the childless Amedée donated the "Liedts Castle" with the library, the art collections and the garden to the city on the condition that the boundaries of the "Park Liedts" would never change and that the allotments would also remain. The donated works of art form an important part of the City Hall's Municipal Collection.
