Description

Qui abitava in passato l'amateurastronomo e amante della natura Paul Dupont (1878-1949). Fu presidente della società belga di Astronomia dal 1937 al 1939.

Costruì questa casa nel 1923 con una biblioteca, un laboratorio e un osservatorio con un diametro di 5,75 m. In questo osservatorio c'era un telescopio a lenti da 16 cm della marca Bardou di Parigi su un montaggio equatoriale. Inoltre, era presente un telescopio a lenti da 13 cm con capacità fotografiche. C'era anche un piccolo strumento di passaggio nel giardino con un'apertura di 3,5 cm per sincronizzare l'orario solare con quello delle stelle. Fecce registrazioni dell'eclissi anulare del 17 aprile 1912 e queste registrazioni appartengono alle migliori esistenti.
