Château Hesse de Flixecourt stands in Flixecourt (Somme), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Flixecourt, in the Somme department, this 19th century château combines two adjoining buildings: a neoclassical house built around 1820 by Marie-Auguste de Crocquoison, followed by a neo Louis XIII wing added in 1865 by Alexandre Hesse. The estate stands out for its ring-shaped brick rotunda, once used to house servants and stables, and for a park of about 11 hectares with centuries-old trees. Since 2017 the property has been converted into a venue for private and professional events, while keeping traces of its past, including the balcony of the former double horseshoe staircase inspired by Fontainebleau.
