The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ferme construite à partir de 1923 par l'architecte Adrien Blomme, à l'initiative du baron Evence Coppée, industriel belge qui décida de reconstruire le paysage rural et agricole de l'Aisne et de la Somme après les dévastations de la guerre. Il rachète plusieurs sucreries et fonde la société industrielle et sucrière de la Somme. 4000 hectares sont remis en culture et treize fermes reconstruites, dont celle d'Essigny constitue le meilleur exemple de ce projet novateur d'agriculture industrialisée.

Farm constructed from 1923 by the architect Adrien Blomme, at the initiative of baron Evence Coppée, a Belgian industrialist who decided to reconstruct the rural and agricultural landscape of the Aisne and the Somme after the devastations of war. He repurchased several sugar refineries and founded the industrial and sugar company of the Somme. 4000 hectares were put back into cultivation and thirteen farms rebuilt, of which that of Essigny constitutes the finest example of this innovative project of industrialized agriculture.
