Origin and history
The castle of Yzengremer is a private property located in the municipality of the same name, in the department of Somme, west of Abbeville. This monument is distinguished by its architecture combining brick and stone, typical of the region, as well as its bosses in "diamond tips", a rare decor in Picardie and France. These elements adorn the southwest wing of the building, adding an aesthetic singularity to the castle, composed of a main rectangular body and a single wing to the west.
Built in the 17th century by Anne de Faudereau, Baron of Noleval, the castle reflects the Italian taste of the period, influenced by her marriage in 1647 with Marie de Strozzi, originally from Florence. The building then underwent reshuffles in the second half of the 19th century, partially changing its initial appearance. The estate also includes a dovecote, a courtyard, a garden, and a walkway, all of which have been listed as a Historic Monument since 2018.
The castle of Yzengremer illustrates the influence of foreign architectural styles in the noble 17th century French constructions. Its workmanship, exceptional for the region, is a testament to craftsmanship and a desire for prestige. Today, the site remains a private property, preserving its historical character and authenticity, while being protected by French heritage authorities.
