History

The manor of Ailly has belonged since the 11th century to the chapter of Beauvais. After the upheavals of the Revolution, only the eastern part of the enclosure in which the dwelling is located now survives. It is a square construction with storey dating from the 13th century. Twin openings with trefoil oculus pierce the south façade and the west gable; the north façade, rebuilt in the 17th century, presents a bay from the early 16th century with mullioned openings decorated with the arms of the canons of Beauvais. Inside, the vestibule is decorated with a trompe-l'oeil of the late 19th century; the storey and roof space are accessible by a staircase of the late 17th century.
