# Château de Ham

Ham, Somme, Hauts-de-France

Château de Ham stands in Ham (Somme), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Ham, in the Somme department, the ruins of a medieval fortress stand beside the Somme canal, marked by a turbulent history that ended with their destruction by German forces in 1917. The site preserves the memory of its use as a state prison, where Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte was notably held before his escape in 1846. Only the square entrance tower and remnants of the outer walls remain today, traces of what was once one of the region's major strongholds.

**Practical details not verified yet.** We know this château and where it is, but we have not yet checked its opening hours or prices at the source. We would rather tell you than display something we are unsure of.
