Built in the late eighteenth century in Crevant-Laveine, the Château de la Terrasse replaced a medieval fortress whose ruins remained.

The south façade stands out for its balcony supported by curved columns with Ionic capitals, while the interior retains its original period decoration and furnishings intact.
