About 4km west of Durbuy, the attractive hamlet of Petite Somme sports the particularly photogenic Château de Petite Somme behind an open floral lawn. The 13th-century structure has appealing neo-Gothic additions, while the interior mixes beautifully restored gilt mouldings with vividly coloured wall paintings of Vedic deities watched over by enthroned Prabhupada statues. The decor makes sense since this is home to Radhadesh, headquarters of Belgium’s Hare Krishna community.
All comers can drop in at the vegetarian restaurant that fronts the castle, but to get inside you'll need to join somewhat overlong guided tours that take in the temple room, climb the tower and watch a 15-minute video on Krishna consciousness.
