En quelques mots
Au sommet de cette butte se situe la chapelle Saint-Siméon. Saint-Siméon le Stylite est le saint patron du village. Sa statue est orientée en direction de la Prusse afin de protéger le village des invasions allemandes. Autrefois, cette statue se trouvait à l'intérieur de la chapelle et elle fut sortie entre les deux guerres. En contrebas, se trouve un vaste clos qui a été aplani, c'est là que se trouvait l'essentiel du château, dont il ne reste rien aujourd'hui. Deux murs naturels de roches sont situés plus bas. C'est l'ancienne porte qui donnait accès à l'enceinte de fortification de la plate-forme. On distingue encore la base cylindrique de la tour des gardes. Au sommet de cette butte se situe la chapelle Saint-Siméon. On ne sait pas si elle fut épargnée lors de la destruction de 1602 ou reconstruite entre 1602 et 1750. Cette chapelle tombera en ruine et sera restaurée en novembre 2001 par la commune. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the top of this hillock is the Saint-Siméon chapel. Saint-Simeon the Stylite is the patron saint of the village. His statue is oriented towards Prussia to protect the village from German invasions. In the past, the statue was inside the chapel and was taken out between the two world wars. Below, there is a large enclosed area that has been cleared, where the main part of the castle was located, of which nothing remains today. Two natural rock walls are located further down. This is the old gateway to the fortification of the platform. The cylindrical base of the guard tower can still be seen. At the top of this hillock is the chapel of Saint-Siméon. It is not known whether it was spared during the destruction of 1602 or rebuilt between 1602 and 1750. This chapel fell into ruin and was restored in November 2001 by the commune.
