En un regard
Le château en bref
Berles-Monchel Castle stands on Rue Principale, in this village in the Artois region (Pas-de-Calais). The Lallart family, who had acquired the land in 1704, began building a residence on the site of a small fortified house and a farm from 1730. The whole was enlarged at the beginning of the 19th century; it comprises the main house, outbuildings arranged around a service courtyard, and a farm, all enclosed by walls, gateways and railings. The landscape garden in the English style, of about two hectares, retains fine specimens: beech, ash, lime, sweet chestnut and plane trees. Since 1852, the estate has belonged to the Tournois de Bonnevalet family. The façades and roofs of the château, the outbuildings and the farm, as well as the courtyard, the enclosures and the park, have been listed as monuments historiques since 2 May 2016. The château remains private, but the park may be visited by reservation through the Arras Pays d'Artois tourist office.
