Imposing manor house, made up of ten buildings with three mills and a dovecote, for architecture and history buffs, it is worth the detour!

It was rebuilt in the 16th century on older foundations, in a stronghold cited in the 14th century. It consists of ten buildings, including three mills, and a granite and blue stone dovecote with 2,000 balls. Its reason for being is its positioning on the edge of the old royal road leading to the Hague, where this path moves away from the shore to climb the first cliffs.
Legend attributes its name to a warlike episode during which William the Conqueror would have had his life saved by Robert the Strong who protected him with his shield (we then said a shield)
