Château de Rogeant

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Rogeant estate lies at the hamlet of Rogeant, in the commune of Tœufles, in the Vimeu. The present château, built in 1903–1904 on a hill laid out as a 3.5-hectare English-style park, is a residence of eclectic taste, ‘half-château, half-villa’, designed by the departmental architect Émile Ricquier to replace an older manor house demolished in 1903. A turret houses a reinforced-concrete spiral staircase, a daring technical feat for the period; a cistern under the roof, fed by a horse gin from the source of the Trie, provided modern comfort. An acetylene shed and a chapel with a trompe-l'œil reredos complete the ensemble. It has remained in the du Plouy family and has been partially listed as a historic monument since 2020.
