Vandenesse

Highlight • Castle

In 1723 there was a glassworks in Vandenesse. In the 18th century the riches of Vandenesse gave rise to quarries, mines, forges, a metallurgical furnace, a fulling mill, an oil mill and mills as well as a nuns' convent which closed around 1970.

At the end of the 19th century the village turned to agriculture and livestock. In the 20th century industrial and artisanal activities stopped, during the rural exodus the village became depopulated. Today tourists can admire the pretty village and the Castle.

Vandenesse Castle

Highlight • Castle

You will notice that most of the castles are located in strategic defensive positions, which is not the case with this castle. But the region around the castle is crossed by the river Dragne which served as a natural defense on one side. The castle is private property, but it can be admired from the main road.
