Maison forte le Nid d'Aigle de Brotel
The Fortified House of Brotel rises at the top of a rocky outcrop overlooking the Val d'Amby. It is in this admirable landscape that Edouard Herriot chose to spend the end of his life.
The history of this residence begins in 1247, when the Laure family pays homage for the lordship of Brotel. This building affirms its defensive vocation by the choice of a spur site dominating the only access road to the castle. Remodeled in the XNUMXth century, it consists of a dwelling preceded to the east, where the natural protection of the cliffs is absent, and a terrace on two levels. Access to the courtyard is protected by two fortified gates.
