Haumont Castle

According to C. Didon (1996) the cellar of the castle has a vault that can be dated to the 16th century. A large part of the building appears to have been rebuilt in the 17th century, as can be deduced from the year "1666", which can be seen on a sculptured stone above the entrance to the residential wing. An unidentifiable coat of arms can also be seen on this stone. The castle chapel was restored in the first half of the 19th century, as evidenced by an inscription above the entrance.
