    The Château de Cœuvres dates back to the 16th century and was probably built by a member of the Estrées family, a nobleman renowned since the 15th century.

    In September 1914, German troops entered the castle, forcing Albert to shelter Ernst Gunther, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, and the Prince of Saxe-Meiningen. Two weeks later, the Germans were driven out during the First Battle of the Marne, and the castle was occupied by the French 6th Army. General Michel Joseph Maunory established his headquarters there. During World War I, the castle was used by various regiments and served as a hospital. In 1918, during the Second Battle of the Marne, the village and castle were caught in the middle of intense artillery fire and tank battles, which completely destroyed them.

    Cœuvres Castle is currently closed to the public as it is now used as a retirement home. The west tower is empty. A beautiful castle. It must be special to live there as an older person.
