Château de la Mothe stands in Béthisy-Saint-Martin (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, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Béthisy-Saint-Martin, at the edge of the Compiègne forest, the Château de la Mothe stands on the site of an old feudal estate of the Valois region, that of Donneval. Built in the 17th century and later altered, the house is set within a park along the Automne river, alongside a mill, an orangery and a dovecote. The grounds keep a quiet, romantic character shaped by centuries of successive owners.
