Château de Vieux Moulin

Next to Vielmanay, the castle was originally a fortified house that protected the abbey of Bellary in the 13th century. The Hundred Years' War ruined the fortified house, which was rebuilt in the Renaissance period by Guillaume de Marafin. Of the old medieval stronghold, the massive north-east tower, the base of the south-east tower, as well as part of the square entrance tower and the moat still remain. The massive north-east tower is crowned with machicolations and a parapet walk, and its walls are pierced with two original gunports where archways were created later.

The inner courtyard provides access to a large, single-storey main building, built over the original vaulted cellars and between the two round towers by Guillaume de Marafin in 1480. The façade has moulded bays and is flanked in the middle by a hexagonal tower with a polygonal roof and a spiral staircase. In the 17th century, large windows were opened in both facades and two rectangular pavilions were built on either side of the porch and on the bases of the first constructions of the 13th century enclosure. Today, the site is privately owned and can only be visited in summer during tours offered by the owners or the Tourist Office.
