Château de Potelle stands in Potelle (Nord), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
At Potelle, in the Nord department, a fortified castle dating back to the 13th century still shows its moat, round towers and defensive character. The courtyard façade, reworked during the Renaissance by the Carondelet family, stands in contrast to the severe outer walls pierced with arrow slits. Visitors can see the fortified gatehouse, a dungeon reached through an opening in the vault, and a chapel holding a carved rood beam listed separately as a historic monument.
