On the banks of the Meuse, Engihoul presents a wooded rocky outcrop at the top of which was erected, around the year 1000, the castle of the Counts of Clermont. This building was destroyed by the Hutois in 1346, in retaliation against the prince-bishop of Liège, who then owned it. The Hutois went so far as to bury the ruins, which were only found in 1975 by the Chercheurs de la Wallonie ("Researchers of Wallonia") before disappearing in the extension of the nearby quarries.
This rock is also pierced by several natural cavities, the best known of which are the Lyell cave and the Grotte de Rosée. The first explorations of these caves were made by Philippe-Charles Schmerling from 1829. Successive explorers, including Ernest Doudou, have provided proof of the occupation of this territory since the Paleolithic.
