Second part of the history of Château d'Olly, through the two world wars, and along the train that linked Sedan to Bouillon... 👇
Part one: • Le château d'Olly - 1....
Two wars, which marked the world and the region. The castle housed prisoners during the 1914-18 war, and was the scene of war crimes committed by the Bossu gang during the 1939-45 war.
This sums up everything we know about the history of our property, of which we are only one more step.
May this charged history, marked by wars and conflicts, remind us where hatred and intolerance lead, so that we never come to this again.
We will soon talk again about some historical details, more precisely about the transformations that took place around 1850.
