Placed in the heart of the forest of Saint-Sever, the motte castle dominates the pond of the Old Castle. The name of this piece of water recalls the existence of this defensive work whose origins date back to the 11th century. A motte is an artificial mound built by human hands: it is built with the earth accumulated as the defensive ditch that surrounds it is dug.
