Listed castle from the 17th century and portal with coat of arms from the 18th century. The Dohan site was an important transit site in ancient times. La voie d'Yvois crossed the Semois here. 150 m away, on a rock, Dohan Castle was built in the early 17th century. The wing on the street side has a monumental gate. The triangular pediment bears the coat of arms of the Duchesne de Ruville - Thibault family and is decorated with garlands and oak leaves.

Right in the center of Dohan is the former Dohan Castle. Dating from 1619, the building is notable for its monumental entrance gate, the pediment of which bears the coat of arms of the Duchesne de Ruville family, who owned the castle until the French Revolution. It then passed into the hands of the Arnoulds, a very old line of the Duchy of Bouillon.
Today, the building has the appearance of a large square farm.
