This property is on the market for €2,198,000, listed with Graham Britton of Leggett Immobilier.

This historic château combines medieval charm with refined living, set in the heart of the Hauts-de-France region, just over two hours from Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Surrounded by 16.2 acres (65,663 m²) of secluded parkland, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and historical intrigue. Two outbuildings, measuring 1,238 square feet (115 m²) and 1,862 square feet (173 m²), provide excellent potential for conversion into gîtes or guest accommodations, adding versatility to this remarkable estate.

Built in the 15th century on the ruins of a fortified town destroyed during the Hundred Years’ War, the château retains its medieval origins with striking features such as a double moat, a fully functional working drawbridge, and turreted towers. These elements are complemented by architectural details added during the 18th century, when the château was transformed into a more comfortable and elegant residence.

Inside, the château spans 5,511 square feet (512 m²) across three levels, offering a total of 14 rooms, including five to six bedrooms and five bathrooms. Original features such as fine tiled and wooden floors, carved wooden doors, working stone and marble fireplaces, oak-beamed ceilings, and intricate plasterwork are beautifully preserved. The ground floor includes a grand entrance hall, a library, a Directoire-style living room, a dining room, and a guard room with a monumental fireplace. A private chapel adds an extra touch of historic character.

The château is equally impressive outdoors. Its expansive grounds include a medieval garden divided into sections for vegetables, flowers, medicinal plants, and an orchard, all of which are seamlessly integrated into the lush parkland. The serene landscape and historical architecture create a harmonious environment that is both captivating and tranquil.

With its moated design, working drawbridge, and a unique blend of medieval and 18th-century architectural elements, this château is a rare find. It offers endless possibilities, whether as a private residence, a luxurious event venue, or an investment property. Steeped in history and surrounded by natural beauty, this estate embodies the charm and elegance of one of France’s most enchanting regions.
