Château de Presles stands in Presles-et-Thierny (Aisne), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
At Presles-et-Thierny, in the Aisne department, stand the ruins of a castle founded in the 13th century by the bishops of Laon. Only part of the enclosure wall and a chapel remain from what was once a larger complex. This site suits visitors drawn to medieval ruins rather than a restored castle.
