Château de Doumely
🇫🇷 France · 15th century
Doumely Castle (French: Château de Doumely) is a 15th-century fortified castle that dominates the countryside of Porcien, situated in the commune of Doumely-Bégny in the Ardennes département of France.
The castle was fully restored at the end of the 20th century by its current owner, who had acquired the castle in complete ruins. The structure bears witness to the transformations that successive occupants have made to the castle: filling of the ditches, openings in the façade, destruction of internal levels, etc.
The Château de Doumely has been listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1984.
