Château de l'Épine stands in Warluis (Oise), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, first quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The château de l'Épine, in Warluis in the Oise department, bears witness to multiple centuries of occupation and modification. Built upon medieval foundations, of which a tower and turret remain, it gradually expanded during the 17th and 19th centuries. The ensemble combines medieval masonry, a classical east wing from the 17th century, a Louis XV staircase with ornamental ironwork, and 19th-century extensions. A 16th-century chapel stands on the grounds.
