Always nice to discover an old railway line and a disinfected station, a historical symbol.

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.

The castle includes the remains of a 12th century Cistercian monastery, built by the Counts of Saint-Pol and destroyed in 1789. The current castle was built in the 18th century by R. Coigniard, who also designed the Abbey of Valloires. It consists of one wing with a central risalite and slightly protruding corner pavilions.

Fairly well-preserved and emblematic monument of the region

Pretty village which deserves that one lingers there in particular for its belfry.

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.

Lucheux is a pretty village in the Somme. It was an imposing seigneury from the 12th century and remains the only town in Picardy to keep the three symbolic buildings of French medieval society: the castle, the belfry and the church. It deserves to be included in one of your cycling or hiking trips.

The belfry of Lucheux is a belfry, at the same time a fortified gate. It has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as belfries of Belgium and France since 2005.
