Belgium Guide - Province of Liege : Huy |
 | | Huy quickly developed as a major artisanal and commercial centre, noted for its tanners, cauldroners, carpenters and especially for its jewelers. |
 | | Huy traded as far as Russia and Scandinavia in the 13th and 14th centuries. |
 | | The castle of Huy ("Li Tchestia", as it is known in local dialect) became a powerful fortress, where the Princes of Liege sought refuge during conflicts with the populace, and it became the town's symbol in the 15th century. |
