Le Gué de Caucourt; The Caucourt watermill dates back to the 16th century. It was rebuilt in the 18th century and was used to grind wheat. After being destroyed by fire in 1981, it was brought back to life. The bucket wheel, fed from above and without a water column, has been installed since 2009. It replaced in an identical way the last wooden wheel that had been gone since 1938. The wheel is an essential organ that converts water into energy.

The castle has been preserved in its original plans. It was built in the Middle Ages (13th and 15th centuries). It is an example of a fortified castle from the plains of Northern Europe. A walk along the “Moats” and an interior visit to the chapel, the vaulted cellars and the floors of the keep are recommended. Enjoy a distant past in the present.
