Logis de Moullins, Medieval seigneurial residence in Saint-Rémy-du-Val, France
Logis de Moullins is a compound of medieval buildings spanning several centuries of construction and modification in northern France. The site contains structures from different periods, each reflecting the architectural practices of its era.
The estate was founded in the 10th century and came under the control of a nearby monastic community, but suffered severe damage during military conflict in the 15th century. The destruction prompted major reconstruction and modification efforts in subsequent decades.
The residence housed notable figures including Pascal Huguenot, advisor to Charles VI, and Martin de Beaune Semblançais, who enhanced the chapel with an altarpiece in 1522.
Access to the site is limited by season and time of day. It is wise to check ahead for visiting availability before making the trip.
The main hall represents a vanishing type of medieval construction that survives nowhere else in the region. This building offers rare insights into how medieval craftspeople engineered large spaces and structured their interiors.
