Château de Rambures
A 15th-century brick military castle from the Hundred Years' War, with round towers and thick walls well preserved, and an English-style garden with more than a thousand rose varieties.
Château de Rambures was built in the mid-15th century during the Hundred Years' War. It is a rare, entirely brick-built military castle in northern France, with eight round towers and walls seven meters thick, designed to withstand early artillery. It remains owned by descendants of the same family. Visitors can tour the lower levels, the guardroom, and the furnished living quarters. Surrounding the castle is an 18th-century English-style garden with hundreds of old rose varieties. Admission costs about 9 euros; it is generally open from March to November (weekends only in winter). It is about 45 kilometers from Amiens and can be combined with Abbeville and the Bay of the Somme in a single day.
