In Vic-sur-Aisne, a 12th century keep still overlooks the village square, a remnant of a lordship tied to the Saint-Médard abbey of Soissons. Around this tower, reworked in the 17th century, stands a manor rebuilt at the same period by the abbey's commendatory abbots, along with grounds combining French-style flowerbeds and an English-style park. The First World War left a heavy mark on the site, some parts still bearing traces of the fighting that took place nearby.
What to know
- Individual admission costs 5 euros.
- The keep and the main house can be visited, though the property is also used for private events.
