Description

The Château de Bouillancourt-en-Séry, more often called Château de Bouillancourt, is located in the territory of the commune of Bouillancourt-en-Séry in Somme. Built in different periods (13th century, 17th century, 18th century and 19th century), it is an interesting example of a medieval fortress transformed and adapted in the course of history.

It is not possible to date exactly the construction of the Château de Bouillancourt-en-Séry. Nevertheless, it can be placed relatively precisely at the beginning of the 13th century, before 1218, the date on which Guillaume de Cayeu founded a chapel there dedicated to Saint Eustace in the north-east tower.

Since 12 December 2001, the façades, the roofs and the archaeological ground of the former lower courtyard have been registered in the supplementary inventory of historic monuments.

In 2020, the château became a place open to the public. It hosts several community projects and is undergoing major restoration work.
