Dromesnil Castle

A pretty red brick windmill in the middle of the fields.

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 present Castle of Selincourt was built from 1734 by the Viscount of Selincourt, Charles-Nicolas Manessier, captain of the infantry in the King's regiment. It replaces a previous building that was destroyed by fire.

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
