# Château d'Hesdin

Vieil-Hesdin, Pas-de-Calais, Hauts-de-France

Château d'Hesdin stands in Vieil-Hesdin (Pas-de-Calais), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 11th century, 13th century, 14th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In the village of Le Parcq, in the Pas-de-Calais, an archaeological reserve marks the site of Hesdin castle, an 11th-century pentagonal fortress later turned into a princely residence under Philip the Bold before being razed by Charles V in 1553. Visitors find no standing building but excavation grounds, rediscovered in 1858 by architect Clovis Normand, where traces remain of a castle once famous for a park full of mechanical automatons and curiosities. The place suits those drawn to archaeology and the history of the counts of Artois rather than a conventional castle visit.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
