The Salamander Tower, one of the last remnants of Beaumont's former fortifications, erected in the 11th century on the initiative of Richilde, Countess of Hainaut, will benefit from substantial financial aid. The monument now houses a museum dedicated to local history and regional crafts.
The project, led by the City of Beaumont, aims to consolidate the remains, prevent their deterioration, and ensure the continued good conditions for visitor reception. The total cost of the works is estimated at €1,026,443.40.
This initiative highlights the importance of heritage transmission and its cultural, tourist, and social role within territories. The investment will help maintain the Salamander Tower as a living heritage asset, contributing to the attractiveness of Beaumont and Wallonia.
