The 3 protected perimeters
The Vaumicel, historical monument, a castle of the 16th century, protected by an old enclosure of the Middle Ages
"From a distance, the Vaumicel castle is an impenetrable enclosure.
The agricultural buildings in the foreground form an perimeter line that allows to perceive the castle located in the background (NO/SE oriented with a very slight inclination).
Pety hedges frame the whole and some tree punctuations come to settle the building.
From the Vaumicel road we approach the castle which can be revealed in some places. Part of the park, as well as the grassing at the foot of the walls or the ruins, thus contribute to the pleasure of the public space". (extract from the PLU investigation file)
