The Château du Denacre stands in Saint-Martin-Boulogne, in the Pas-de-Calais, a short drive from Boulogne-sur-Mer. Built in the mid-18th century on the site of a house already recorded in the 16th century, it first served as a country retreat run by the Lazarist order before passing through several private owners who added fireplaces, wood panelling and an oratory. The surrounding park, crossed by the Denacre stream, was reshaped into a landscape garden in the 19th century, complete with a pond and a hydraulic system that remain in place today. The estate is now privately owned and rented out as a holiday home.
