Thanks Albert And in mine book 'Châteaux en Belgique' it says: the knights templars had a house between Marche and Rochefort which prospered until Philippe le Bel obtaind the abolition of the order in 1307. at the end of the period the stronghold of jemeppe-hargimont, held by the d'Orchain family was already a force to be reckoned with. i also have a map and text in mine 'het groot kastelenboek van België' i will look if i can scann it in and then i will email it to you.Kastelein Does someone have information about the Chateau de Jemeppe in Belgium.
