Bailleulmont Keep

En un regard

Le château en bref

At Bailleulmont, in the Pas-de-Calais, the remains of a medieval keep associated with a motte castrale survive on private land at the locality known as "le Village". Only part of the principal tower still stands, in a field where the former moat remains legible. The monument illustrates the transition from the motte, an earthen and timber fortification widespread between the 10th and 12th centuries, to a stone fortress that the Inventaire dates to the 13th century. Listed as a monument historique in 1947 for the ruined keep and the motte, the site is also recorded as an archaeological site. It is not open to visitors and is viewed from the outside.
