Emptinne

Emptinne (French pronunciation: [ɛmtin]; Walloon: Emtene-dilé-Hamwè) is a village and a district in the municipality of Hamois, located in the province of Namur, Belgium.

The area has been populated at least since Gallo-Roman times, as evidenced by archaeological discoveries.

At the location of the hamlet Champion, a large Roman villa once stood.

There are two châteaux in the district: the larger Château de Fontaine (Emptinne) [fr] south of the village Emptinne, and the smaller Château de Champion in the hamlet of the same name.
