The old rectory of Mélin, erected to the right of the Notre-Dame de la Visitation church in the first half of the 18th century, originally consisted of a single-storey building with a double body in brick and stone. of Gobertange topped with a tile roof. In its center already stood out a molded door surmounted by a semicircular arch and an oculus framed by volutes. An additional half-level, very well integrated, was added to the building during the first half of the 19th century, a time which also saw the construction of a surrounding wall decorated with a wrought iron gate. The outbuilding at right angles, built in the same materials, dates, like the main volume, from the 18th century. The treatment itself has benefited from a restoration.

As if the old building still belongs to the church...

This former presbytery dates from 1729 and consists of two floors symmetrically divided into rooms on either side of a central corridor and a wing perpendicular to it for the outbuildings.

The presbytery, which was built immediately to the right of the church of Notre-Dame de la Visitation, originally consisted of a building of brick and Gobertange stone. An additional half-floor was added to the building in the first half of the 19th century.

Recalling the Baroque spirit, the entrance door is crowned by a stained glass window and a curved moulding, framed by two volutes or finely worked spirals.

Tip: behind the former presbytery is the walled car park with the most space, from where you have an excellent view of the presbytery and church.
