Château de Vadencourt stands in Vadencourt (Somme), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Vadencourt Castle in the Somme is a seigneurial residence whose central block and two lateral wings were rebuilt in the early 18th century. Two round towers topped with pyramidal roofs frame the complex, linked by period wrought ironwork. The south wing retains traces of its earlier structure, with 17th-century walls alternating brick and stone. It stands as a rare testament to rural aristocratic life under the Ancien Régime, marked by measured but original architectural ambitions.
