Author of the neo-Renaissance transformation.
Origin and history
The Château de Rebreuve-sur-Canche, although attested since the Revolution, took its present form between 1885 and 1887 thanks to architect Clovis Normand. The latter, a neo-gothic specialist in Pas-de-Calais, turned a former hunting relay into an imposing building, thickening the main wing, demolishing western buildings and extending a wing in return. Normand skillfully reuses existing elements, while adopting a neo-Renaissance style, rare in its production. The communes, dating from 1845, were rearranged in L around 1896, completing the architectural ensemble.
During the two world wars, the castle was requisitioned by the army. After 1948, he hosted a holiday settlement, and then underwent several changes of owners via successive rentals and sales. Its inscription in the Historic Monuments in 2010 protects the castle in its entirety, as well as the facades and roofs of the communes and the guardhouse, highlighting its heritage importance.
Clovis Normand, emblematic architect of the region, marks this project with its eclectic approach, mixing restoration and creation. The castle thus illustrates a stylistic transition between neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance, while reflecting the varied uses of a heritage adapted to military, social and private needs during the 20th century.
