La Seigneurie de Villemont: From the Roman period to the French Revolution, Villemont (first its Roman villa, then its stately home) played an important role in the history of the surrounding villages.
The Lordship of Villemont, total property without condition of vassalage (1270) of the County of Chiny saw a large number of noble families succeed one another.
Residence of the Lord of Villemont whose Lordship during the old regime extended over more than 6,000 hectares and included the villages forming the current commune of Tintigny (except Rossignol and Menil).
Since 1097, several families have succeeded each other at the head of Villemont. The oldest are the Wez, a family originating from Wez (currently spelled: Wé), a small village not far from Carignan: the Lordship was indeed part of the archdiocese of Trèves and the deanery of Yvoix (Carignan).
After the Wez, the Barbançon family took over the domain. Jean de Barbançon inherited the estate around 1400. Under the Barbançons, the estate was burned and looted several times by the French soldiers who regularly invaded Luxembourg. The last of the family, Bonne de Barbançon, inherited the estate in 1612. She married Philippe de Mérode. The Mérodes owned Villemont until 1676.
By marriage, the domain becomes possession of the illustrious family of Trazegnies, it will remain so until the French revolution. Obviously, over the centuries, the Lordship has known all the eras that the Netherlands have lived: Catholic, Burgundian, Spanish, Austrian...
During the revolution, the estate was partly sold to the Armethon family.
Then the castle will belong to the family of Huart and currently to the family of Jamblinne de Meux.
