    Built around 1150 by Guy III le Bouteiller de Senlis, the castle dominates the county of Senlis, thanks to its formidable keep, probably the highest in the royal domain at the time of its construction (around 1190-1200).

    Testimony of a prestigious medieval past, the remains of the fortified castle include, in addition to the keep, an enclosure with a polygonal ditch, an entrance gatehouse (12th, 13th, 15th) through which one accesses the lower courtyard, a curtain wall with battlements (14th century) linking the keep to the seigniorial dwelling and its semi-circular flanking tower (14th century).

    The castle and its seigniory belonged to a succession of historical figures, each close to a king of France.

    Opening to the public: every Saturday and Sunday from June to September at 10.30 a.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
