    Castle which will not leave you indifferent as both parts, both that of the 13th century and that dating from the end of the 15th century, are well preserved, not to mention the gardens and the moat (still in water) which surround it. The descendants of the lords of Bigny, who acquired it in 1467, are still the owners.
    It can be visited and you can also spend the night there.
