Colomby Manor - PRIVATE

Beautiful 18th century manor house. Classical style, composed of a central body surmounted by a triangular pediment and framed by two asymmetrical front bodies. The refined decoration highlights the beautiful stone dormer windows. During the German occupation it was the seat of a Kommandantur. The Germans converted it into a small fortress surrounded by a system of trenches, controlling the road to Thaon. Today, through the gates, one can make out a very pretty well (a copy of the Renaissance-style well at Fontaine-Henry Castle). The original is in the garden of the annex opposite the manor.
