The castle-farm of Roly is a fortified farm dating from the 13th century, when it was the residence of the powerful lords of Roly. There you will find a massive keep, a private chapel, a large courtyard and various service buildings, all surrounded by a moat on two sides. The castle-farm is a remarkable example of rural heritage and a testimony to the feudal past of the region. You can admire the imposing structure from the outside or book a guided tour to see the interior and learn more about its history.
