A beautiful castle - but you have to pay attention to the opening times - there is a lunch break

As soon as we cross the river La Bresle in the town, a sign shows the place name "Bouttoncourt" and another "Département de la Somme" - from now on we are in Picardy.

The construction of the castle dates back to the 17th century, but the remains of a previous castle of the 16th century are still visible (barn, dovecote and fence wall). In the XVIIIe century modifications were carried out.

From the small, hardly used road you can see the valley and beyond.

The mill belongs to the Manoir d'Hottineaux or Domaine de Penthièvre. The gate to the property was closed, which is a bit surprising given that there are even signposts leading there. The building is difficult to see from the street, but at least the mill wheel, which is still working, is visible.

Brick fortress from the 15th century as a successful example of fortress architecture. The castle was never taken. You can visit them: in addition to the architecture, many facilities and fashions from past centuries can be admired. The castle park is also attractive with its unusual planting and various games, especially for families with children.
