Wamin Château

En un regard

Le château en bref

Wamin Château, in the Canche valley near Hesdin, is a seventeenth- and eighteenth-century seigneurial residence built of brick and stone around a courtyard of honour. It has a vaulted basement room predating the seventeenth century, outbuildings dated 1688, and a lower courtyard begun in 1782. A map of 1714 already shows a central wing flanked by two square pavilions. Sold as national property in 1794, it was taken over by the Fléchin family and resold in 1811, and it was altered in the early nineteenth century. The château, its courtyard of honour, the enclosure walls, the outbuildings, the entrance pavilions, the park with its gloriette and the kitchen garden have been listed as historic monuments since 2 March 2009. Private property, not open to visitors.
