By its very heterogeneity, the SAINT-SULPICE CHURCH constitutes a particularly evocative example of the rural sanctuaries of Artois, for the most part rebuilt at the end of the Middle Ages on foundations which may date back to the 12th or 13th century, but noted at several times between the 16th and the beginning of the 18th century, following sackings committed by imperial and French troops.

Château de Bavincourt is a castle located in the commune of Bavincourt, in the Pas-de-Calais department of France. An old manor house used to stand on the site of the present castle and its motte was still there during the construction of the latter; however, not much is known about it. The current castle was built by François Deslions, nephew of Jean-Louis Deslions, canon and dean of Saint-Omer, who had inherited the lands of Bavincourt.

Apart from the old keep that can be seen from the western part of the village, the castle of Lucheux, which has become an IME, has been destroyed several times, has kept among others its doors including the one known as "the village" which is visible from the paved road that goes up of the belfry.

For mountain biking, uphill for the brave or downhill for the daredevils. 🙂 Large stones and branches to avoid.

The castle is private but do not hesitate to make the detour to discover its facade.
