History

Historical importance of this major site of First World War decision-making, interesting example of a 19th century residence in the Pays de Somme, which possesses rich archaeological potential linked to a castellated borough established near the Roman road. Castle of medieval origin, rebuilt in the 17th century and modified in the 19th century. The central body in brick and stone of the 17th century was raised by an attic storey in the 19th century. It is flanked by hemicircular towers, whose bases are the last remaining evidence of the medieval castle. To the north and south, two low wings were built around 1830-1840 in the extension of the central body. In the same period, low-pitched roof concealed by a balustrade and English-style park. The greater part of the interior decoration dates from the 19th century, in particular the wainscoting of the reception rooms on the ground floor and magnificent marquetry parquets.
