Origin and history

The Château de Colembert, located in the department of Pas-de-Calais, was built between 1776 and 1784 by the Bolonnais architect Giraud Sannier for Count Charles Philippe de Sainte-Aldegonda. It replaces an ancient castle and embodies the aristocratic architecture of the late eighteenth century. The estate, erected as a marquisat by Louis XIV, was passed on by marriage to the family of Sainte-Aldegonde, which retained its property despite revolutionary upheavals.

During the French Revolution, the castle was seized and sold as a national property, but Louis-Charles de Sainte-Aldegonde, son of the former owners, managed to redeem it. In the 19th century, the estate passed by alliance to the families of Cossé-Brissac and the Cars, then to the Law family of Lauriston-Boubers, the current owner. The castle, marked by prestigious marriages like that of Hélène de Pérusienne des Cars in 1870, retains a rich interior decor, including woodwork and an octagonal salon.

Ranked a historic monument in 1980, the Château de Colembert protects its facades, roofs, moats, and several remarkable rooms, including an octagonal room called "red room". Its history reflects the changes of the French aristocracy, the Enlightenment in the contemporary era, while remaining rooted in the local heritage of Nord-Pas-de-Calais (now Hauts-de-France).
