The Oiselay family had owned a fortified castle here since the 11th century. Following its destruction, this imposing U-shaped castle was rebuilt. The round tower dates from the 15th century and the courtyard façade from 1570. New work then took place on the building during the first half of the 19th century. Following a marriage linking the Oiselay family to the Granvelle family, we find icons recalling this illustrious family which notably included the Keeper of the Seals of Charles V, a cardinal and an ambassador. Currently private property, unfortunately it cannot be visited.

It is called a castle but it is indeed a mansion dating from 1714 if we refer to its pediment Listed as a Historic Monument since 1996, it cannot be visited because it is private but inside, only its staircase remains original.

It is certainly interesting but unfortunately you can't see much because of the wall / fence (private property).

Beautiful side street without much traffic through meadows

The abbey was a monastery of the order of Premonstratensian. It was founded in 1133 by the prior Raimbaud, canon of Saint-Paul de Besançon who placed the priory under the dependence of this abbey. The priory was transferred the following year to the Premonstratensians of Saint-Martin de Laon. The building was listed as a historical monument in 2003. Private property !
