Château de Torcy

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Torcy, in the Pas-de-Calais, dates from 1727, when it was built by the Baron de Torcy. Only the south wing of this first residence survives, converted into a pleasure château. Around 1857–1860, Pierre-Charles Dussillon remodelled it in the English neo-Gothic style, and a tower known as the tour du Chevalier was added some fifteen years later. The south façade, facing the park, has two towers and eighteen bays; the north façade combines brick and stone. Inside are wood panelling and a dining room hung with leather. A landscape park of some fifteen hectares, designed by Louis-Sulpice Varé, surrounds it; the farm was rebuilt to the north as a model farm. Privately owned, partially listed since 2007.
