Château de Louppy-sur-Loison
Description
Château de Louppy-sur-Loison present remains date back to a castle built in the 13th or 14th century. It was built on an elevated piece of land in a loop formed by the Loison river. Originally the feudal castle had a quadrilateral ground plan with circular towers at its corners. It had a deep moat which was fed by the Loison.
The castle was abandoned and fell to ruin later and Simon II de Pouilly built a new Louppy-sur-Loison castle in the first half of the 17th century. The present church was built on the ruins of the old castle in 1878.
At present the remains of the old Louppy-sur-Loison Castle are part of the grounds of the village church and town hall. Its exterior can freely be visited. The New Louppy-sur-Loison Castle is only some 100 meters away.
