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

Set on a wooded spur above the village of Lucheux in the Somme, this site consists today of ruins protected as a historic monument. Visitors can make out the scale of a stronghold begun in the twelfth century and altered through the fifteenth, including the remains of a keep over twenty metres tall and a great hall lit by Gothic windows. This is a destination for those who enjoy walking among historic stonework rather than touring a furnished, restored castle.

The uneven ground and nearby ditches around the ruins call for caution, especially with young children.
