Salperwick Castle in Pas-de-Calais is a country residence whose roots trace back to monastic estates in the Middle Ages. Rebuilt following two successive fires in the 16th and 18th centuries, it displays architecture combining older elements, particularly its outbuildings to the north, with 18th-century additions including a T-shaped wing. Its interiors retain remarkably preserved woodwork and stucco, while its facades show an uncommon architectural influence for the region.
