Description

"Château de Petite-Somme", is located near #PetiteSomme (Luxembourg), Belgium. First mentioned in the 11th century, it was linked to Gozelon de Montaiqude, who plundered Saint Hubert Abbey's property. His widow gifted the castle to the abbey as penance. In the 14th century, Jean de Bohême added a tower. The Hamal family owned it from 1461 to 1774, followed by various noble families. Lord Charles de Favereau later demolished the Hamal residence, rebuilding a brick country home. Nothing of the original castle remains. It was later rebuilt in 1888 in neo-gothic style by Louise Marie Eulalie.
