Following a visit to Liège, the King and Queen will travel to the Val Saint-Lambert castle in Seraing. The city of Seraing is pleased to welcome the royal family to this emblematic site, celebrating the bicentenary of its crystal factory.
A thematic lunch will focus on two major challenges for the region: industrial reconversion and mental health, including addiction issues. The visit will then continue at the Cristallerie du Val Saint-Lambert, founded in 1826 on the site of a former abbey. For two centuries, it has maintained glassmaking expertise recognized beyond national borders.
The King and Queen will explore the history of the crystal factory, the site's redevelopment, and the museum's collections, notably the renowned Vase des Neuf Provinces. The day will conclude with a glassblowing demonstration in the workshops.
