Château de Rambures stands in Rambures (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, milieu 18th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Rambures castle raises its eight brick and stone towers south of Abbeville, in the Somme department. Built in the 15th century, it is one of the few medieval castles still standing in the region, spared from the 17th century demolitions in gratitude for a service rendered to King Henri IV. Visitors find a square-plan late medieval fortress, a neo-gothic chapel holding the tombs of the La Roche-Fontenilles marquises, and a romantic park labelled a remarkable garden, with an arboretum and a rose garden.
