To make a day of it
Château de Bois-lès-Pargny stands in Bois-lès-Pargny (Aisne), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Bois-lès-Pargny castle is dominated by a Louis XIII-style keep built in 1611 by the Maubeuge family.

An adjoining brick wing was added in the early eighteenth century, while the ground floor contains a vaulted guardroom of notable character.
