Probably, originally, one of the outlying fortifications of Moha Castle. In 1234, under Hugues de Pierrepont, Thiry de Lardenois de Famelette was castellan of Moha and this office remained in his descendants in 1441. The allodial lordship of Famelette is held by Colar de Hosden, by succession of Maroie daughter of Thiry Lardenois. In 1558, through the marriage of Catherine de Hosden, it passed to the Berlaymont de Floyon family, who kept the castle until the beginning of the 19th century. Subsequently owned by the Aspremont Lyndens, it was bought around 1878 by the Collinet family. Located on a spur overlooking the Méhaigne, the castle developed around a square keep built 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 ridge with coyaux and croup. Two hipped dormers, facing out. To the right of the porch, mid-16th century barn wings in limestone rubble. The south-west side of the courtyard is occupied by a large dwelling refitted twice in the 18th century, on a core from the middle of the 16th century.
