In the centre of Mons, the Losseau House, a jewel of art nouveau, has undergone major restoration and enhancement work. The dwelling, as well as the adjacent buildings, are now accessible to the public. In the heart of this furnished house, listed as an exceptional Walloon Heritage Site associated with the famed architects Paul Saintenoy, Henri Sauvage and Charles Sarrazin, the floral decor is delicately decorated with mosaics, panelling, stained glass, inlaid parquet, cabinets, chandeliers and various objects.


A captivating Interpretation Centre

In addition to the house itself, the Province of Hainaut and the Losseau Foundation open the doors of an Interpretation Centre. Through an immersive scenography, dive into the world of Léon Losseau, a lawyer and lover of Art Nouveau. Discover his pursuits, passions, and his famous collection of medals. Also, explore the fascinating story of the discovery of the original edition of Une Saison en enfer by Rimbaud.


A space dedicated to the literature from Hainaut

On the second floor, a rich centre of Hainaut literature welcomes students, researchers and readers interested in the literature and history of Hainaut. With comfortable spaces for consultation and reading, an area devoted to comics and literature for young people, it also features collections by Léon Losseau, Charles Plisnier and Claire Lejeune, in a completely renovated environment open to the magnificent garden of the house.

Notizen von einer Belgien-Tour. Auf der Durchreise durch Mons ist dies eine der wenigen Attraktionen, die man findet. Es handelt sich um eine Villa mit Möbeln, Kunstwerken usw., und der Eintritt ist kostenpflichtig. Es gibt einen Parkplatz in der Nähe, der jedoch auf drei Stunden begrenzt ist. Ich kam an einem Samstagmorgen an: (Mein Fehler, die Öffnungszeiten nicht gelesen zu haben) geschlossen. Es ist seltsam für uns, ein historisches Gebäude für Touristen oder Enthusiasten geschlossen vorzufinden.

Waouh, c'est génial ! Le musée le plus fascinant des trois que j'ai repérés dans cette ville. Une maison innovante à bien des égards : la première maison à avoir l'électricité, la première maison à avoir des radiateurs pour chauffer les aliments. Un plafond de verre spécialement conçu, un ascenseur. Très impressionnant. À voir absolument si vous êtes dans cette ville merveilleuse.

Wichtig zu wissen: Um das Museum zu betreten, müssen Sie die Klingel rechts neben dem Eingang betätigen. Dann öffnen sie die Tür. Sie betreten also nicht den Hauseingang selbst, sondern das Tor auf der rechten Seite. Nette Begrüßung durch den Mann, der auch Englisch sprechen konnte. Interessante Geschichte über Herrn Losseau und das Haus selbst. Erstes Haus mit Strom in Mons. Unglaubliche Glasdecke im Wohnzimmer und viele schöne Details im ganzen Haus. Genießen Sie Ihren Besuch!
