About Château de Bernicourt
The Château de Bernicourt is a 17th-century castle located in the commune of Roost-Warendin, in the Hauts-de-France region of northern France. The castle was built in 1640 by the architect François Martellange, on the site of a previous medieval fortress. The castle was originally designed as a country house, with a square main building and two rectangular wings, and surrounded by a moat. The castle was later transformed into a farm, and during the 20th century it was abandoned and fell into disrepair. In the 1980s, the castle was purchased by a local association that worked to restore the building and its gardens. Today, the Château de Bernicourt is open to the public and offers guided tours of the castle and its gardens, as well as various cultural events throughout the year. The castle is notable for its picturesque architecture, with its square main building and rectangular wings, and its beautiful gardens. The interior of the castle has been restored to its original 17th-century appearance, with period furnishings, paintings, and decorative elements. Visitors can explore the castle's many rooms, including a great hall, a chapel, a dining room, and a salon. The Château de Bernicourt is an important historical and cultural site in the region, and a testament to the enduring legacy of French Renaissance architecture.
