Fictional location in The Adventures of Tintin
Tintin, Captain Haddock and Snowy approach Marlinspike Hall (Le château de Moulinsart).
Marlinspike Hall (French: Le château de Moulinsart[mu.lɛ̃.saʁ]) is Captain Haddock's country house and family estate in The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé.[1]
The original French name of the hall, Moulinsart, is derived from Sart-Moulin, a village near Braine-l'Alleud in Walloon Brabant, Belgium. In an allusion to the Haddock family's maritime history, the hall's English name refers to the marlinspike, a tool used in seamanship to splice ropes. The Belgian corporation managing Hergé's work (principally Tintin) is also called Moulinsart S.A., now TintinImaginatio.
