Located in the Aisne region, Septmonts Castle was originally the country residence of the bishops of Soissons. Built between the 12th and 16th centuries, it retains several original features, such as the so-called Saint-Louis Room. Visitors can discover a 14th-century keep and square tower, as well as a 16th-century Renaissance pavilion. Bombed during the First World War, Septmonts Castle is now classified as a historical monument for its chapel and keep, and an inscription for the rest of the buildings. The impressive keep is over forty meters high and consists of seven stories of complex architecture. Septmonts Castle itself is adorned with a park featuring an arboretum and an orchard. The entire complex is open to the public, and the Renaissance residence also hosts temporary exhibitions. Every June, the site hosts the Pic'Arts rock festival concerts.

A charming place, it is even possible to climb to the top of the keep to access a breathtaking view of the characterful village of Septmonts!
