Probably, originally, one of the peripheral fortifications of Moha Castle. In 1234, under Hugues de Pierrepont, Thiry de Lardenois de Famelette was lord of Moha and this charge remained in his descendants in 1441. The allodial lordship of Famelette was held by Colar de Hosden, by succession of Maroie daughter of Thiry Lardenois. In 1558, by the marriage of Catherine de Hosden, he passed to the Berlaymont de Floyon, who kept the castle until the beginning of the 19th century. Then owned by the Aspremont Lynden, it was bought around 1878 by the Collinet family. Located on a spur overlooking the Méhaigne, the castle has developed around a square keep raised in the 14th century, today to the west of the complex. Most of the current buildings date from the mid-16th century. Construction in limestone rubble formerly covered with a pink whitewash. Slate boat with cores and croup. Two hipped dormers, outwards. To the right of the porch, wings of stables under a hayloft from the mid-16th century in limestone rubble. The south-west side of the courtyard is occupied by an important dwelling, refurbished twice in the 18th century, on a core from the middle of the 16th century.

Castle built around an old square keep in the 14th century. Up until the 16th century it underwent several renovations to its current form. Typical facade with a facade vegetation of climbing hydrangea.
