The Château de Thiers-sur-Thève, now in ruins, is a former 13th-century fortified castle listed as a Historic Monument in 1862. Built as a hunting lodge for the bishops of Beauvais, it is distinguished by its large state room pierced with large windows, a rare example of medieval residential architecture in the Île-de-France region. Partially dismantled in the 15th century, its circular towers, moats, and Gothic remains can still be admired.

The Château de Montépilloy is a medieval castle in ruins which was built in the 12th century by Guy III le Bouteiller de Senlis, a nobleman in the service of the kings of France. It was the scene of several battles and sieges during the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion. You will be able to discover the remains of the imposing keep, the polygonal enclosure, the entrance gate and the unfinished “new castle” which date from different periods in the history of the castle. The castle is surrounded by forests and offers panoramic views of the countryside. You can also enjoy the charm of the neighboring village of Montépilloy, which has a church, a fountain and an old washhouse. The castle is open to the public from June to September.

The Royal Abbey of Chaalis actually includes ruins, a museum and gardens. During the High Middle Ages and the Renaissance, a rich intellectual activity developed here. Despite the state of ruins, there is a chapel with very well preserved frescoes by Francesco Primaticcio.

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.
