Description

The Château de Château-Thierry is a former fortified castle, founded in the 9th century by the counts of Vermandois and remodelled in the 12th and 13th centuries by the counts of Champagne, then by Philip the Fair in the 14th century and finally by Antoine de Bourgogne at the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century. Its remains stand in the French commune of Château-Thierry in the department of Aisne, in the Hauts-de-France region.

The ruins of the former castle and the mound on which they are situated were listed as historic monuments by decree of 2 August 1932.
