En un regard
Le château en bref
Landas Castle is located at 6, avenue Kuhlmann, in Loos, within the Lille metropolitan area. The Landas family is known from 1096; at the end of the 15th century, Jean de la Haye merged the lands of Landas into the fief of La Haye d'Esquermes. In August 1667, during the siege of Lille, Louis XIV established his headquarters at the castle, which then belonged to Philippe Charles de la Haye. The building, whose construction campaigns are attributed to the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, is a rectangular two-storey edifice in alternating stone and brick, to which is attached a chapel with a three-sided apse. Acquired around 1920 by Liévin Danel, it was threatened with demolition in 1961 by motorway works and moved about a hundred metres. Only the chapel is listed as a monument historique, by order of 30 May 1984. The castle is privately owned.
