Built in 1809 for Jean-Baptiste de Gorguette d'Argœuves to designs by Pierre Auguste Dejean, this neo-classical château in the Somme stands out for its truncated pyramid roof topped with a glass lantern. The facades of cut chalk, marked by rusticated quoins and preceded by Tuscan columns, enclose an interior where stucco work, panelling and paintings depicting rural labour survive. The whole complex, including the farm, dovecote, glasshouse and park, has been undergoing gradual restoration by its current owners since 2017.
