En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de la Phalecque stood in Lille, in the Fives district. Archival sources mention a castle belonging to the la Phalecque family in the 13th and 14th centuries; a 16th-century defensive building, surrounded by moats fed by the Becquerel, appears in an engraving of the 1667 siege. Levelled at the end of the 17th or the beginning of the 18th century, it was replaced by a pleasure house with gardens and a folly, which was set on fire during the siege of 1792 and then demolished. The site has entirely disappeared; archaeological excavations (2015–2018) have yielded remains and prestige objects, including Delftware.
