This field near Malmedy is where my cousin took us in 1997 to show us the location of the family castle. He had come here as a young man with his father who wanted him to see where the castle had been located. It was here that one of the foundation stones had been found. On the road near this field there is a road sign which says "ARIMONT." The family had lived in this area until the late middle ages when they moved to Jalhay.All of this was a revelation to me, as my father had not mentioned anything about a castle or a coat of arms, likely because he disapproved of the class structure that he felt typified life in Europe.
