Travel Guide Sorans-Lès-Breurey

(Sorans) Seeing the house Fortequi presents itself as a fortified farmhouse of very beautiful dress. It is a real strong, with a defensive tower, water ditches, but also a farm with a mill and wild to supply firewood. The picturesque site is characteristic of these secondary castles built from the th century by the small nobility. The walls are thick, 2,20 m in length, filled with gunboat gunboat. The house has a colombier and a chapel. The first house was built in wood by Gérard de Sorans in the middle of the th century. The stone appears only with Jean de Semoutiers in the th century. Etienne de Lambrey strengthens the whole in order to prevent the attacks of the League in the next century. It was only after the Treaty of Nijmegen, in 1678 (joining the Franche-Comté in the Kingdom of France), that the castle turned into a place of pleasure. In the Revolution, the area is picked up by farmers. The rural farm, in operation until today, has allowed the housing to be maintained.
