Warnant-Dreye

Warnant-Dreye (Walloon: Wernant) is a village of Wallonia and a district of the municipality of Villers-le-Bouillet, located in the province of Liège, Belgium.

The Premonstratensian monks would henceforth be present in Warnant, notably at the so-called Abbey's Farm.

The first castle of Warnant, a fortified dungeon facing St. Remi's Church, was destroyed under the rule of Otto I in 1276, in the heat of the War of the Cow, which ravaged the Principality of Liège and the County of Namur between 1275 and 1278.

After Otto I, the House of Warnant would split in several branches, including the La Neuville, Ladrier, Oultremont, Saint-Jean, Fumal, Vaux, etc.

In 1731, Jean-François-Paul-Emile d'Oultremont was elevated to the rank of Count of the Holy Roman Empire.
