At the tip of the fortified spur of Crépy-en-Valois, the former Saint-Arnoul priory (founded in the 10th century, which became a Benedictine abbey and then an important Cluniac priory in 1076) suffered heavy damage during the Hundred Years' War, particularly during the sack of 1434. Of the church, the necropolis of the Counts of Valois, the western wall of the crypt and that of the north aisle remain, revealing a remarkable Romanesque vocabulary (acanthus leaf capitals, Carolingian traditions). Enhanced since 1964, the complex still retains the 12th-century stoker's room, the superb chapter house and the eastern gallery of the cloister.

The Château de Pierrefonds is already exceptional because of its immense size. Built for the Prince of Orléans (14th century), it is, together with the Château de La Ferté-Milon in the Aisne, an architectural masterpiece for its time. Destroyed and then rebuilt thanks to the architectural star, Eugène Viollet-le-Duc (1857), into a neo-Gothic residence, into a magnificent medieval palace. Through polychrome paintings, he visited the fairytale setting, the immense 52-metre-long Salle de Preuses, the chapel and of course the richly sculpted decorations that illustrate the stately life of the Middle Ages in an archaeological style. Filmmakers have set up their sets in the waiting room and have immortalised The Hunchback, Donkey Skin, The Visitors, the Merlin series, Joan of Arc and many others on film. Walt Disney was also inspired by this ideal place, to create his Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White ...

There is no must-see at the published position. The name is wrong. The only must-see nearby is the Old Saint-Joseph Hospital. This is a neoclassical building designed around 1842 by the architect Moïse Weil. Before being converted into a hospital, the establishment housed a teaching house founded by the Sisters of the Congregation of Saint-Joseph of Cluny. The convent chapel is finished with a flat chevet which, however, offers a privileged place for the development of a monumental painting composed in the manner of a triptych. This work by the painter Amédée Dupuy Delaroche, classic in its design and iconography, is contemporary with the construction of the chapel.

The oldest building within the grounds of the Château de la Douye is what appears to be part of the “Grand Hôtel” built by King John II the Good in 1344 and partially destroyed during the 100 Years' War. John II liked Bethisy which he called his “desert”. He made numerous stays there. The Château de la Douye is more recent. It is described as a composite manor, made up of two buildings at right angles: one very simple, is from the 17th century; the other contains the chapel whose window with flamboyant tracery retains stained glass. At the intersection a 15th century staircase turret. The history of the castle is little known. The first owners seem to have been the Anthonis, lords of Douye. Around 1475, Gilles Anthonis, Lord of Douye, Baron and Vémars, was Notary and Secretary to King Louis XI and hereditary Gruyer of Béthisy, in the forest of Cuise. Subsequently, for example, it was the turn of Berthelemy (1570), Le Doux (1655) and Beaurain (1762). More recently, La Douye welcomed the Missionary Sisters of the Holy Spirit. Numerous works have now completely transformed the interiors. The stained glass window is also more modern. Around 1820 the arms of Charles VI and VII were visible on the turret and in the chapel. Charles VI, the beloved or the madman, king of France from 1380 to 1422. Charles VII, the victorious, king of France from 1422 to 1461.

The Château de la Douye in Béthisy-Saint-Pierre is a composite manor, formed by two buildings at right angles: one very simple, from the 17th century; the other contains the chapel with flamboyant windows and stained glass. At the intersection there is a 15th century stair turret. The Château de la Douye is surrounded by a large park and faces the two turrets that remain from the medieval castle of King John II the Good, who built the "Grand Hôtel" in 1344 and partially destroyed it during the Hundred Years' War. You can also admire the old mill on the Automne river, which crosses the territory of the commune.

You have no idea of the importance of the castle until you have stood in front of it: a magnificent complex with a wonderful park. Compiegne had great royal times before the name was much later overshadowed by the armistice in 1918.
