A beautiful castle - but you have to pay attention to the opening times - there is a lunch break

Atypical historical site.

Dromesnil Castle

n the Middle Ages there was a castle in Dromesnil. In the 15th century it was rebuilt after the Hundred Years' War. Demolished in 1750 and replaced by the present building in 1752. Dromesnil Castle was built in the mid 18th century and remodeled in the 19th century. The Lordship of Dromesnil was established as a margraviate for the Hallencourt family, who owned the castle until 1749.

The large castle in this small village dates from the late 17th century. Information on this at https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martainneville

The 18th-century castle is attached to two towers of an earlier 13th-century castle. More recently it gradually fell into disrepair until 2020 when it found new owners who have been committed to the restoration ever since. Many volunteers also help with this. During our visit we were lucky enough to meet two of them who showed us around the castle and the vegetable garden where very sustainable gardening can be admired. More information can be found on the castle's website https://chateaudebouillancourt.com/

The castle with its pretty outbuildings is somewhat hidden behind trees. From the unpaved access road you could see it reasonably well. You can find some information at http://www.chateau-fort-manoir-chateau.eu/chateaux-somme-chateau-a-citerne-chateau-de-yonville.html

Brick fortress from the 15th century as a successful example of fortress architecture. The castle was never taken. You can visit them: in addition to the architecture, many facilities and fashions from past centuries can be admired. The castle park is also attractive with its unusual planting and various games, especially for families with children.
