Origin and history

The Créquy Castral Precinct, located in the municipality of the same name, is a monument dated the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. This site, classified as Historic Monument, illustrates the importance of medieval fortifications in the region, although little precise information about its history or its occupants is available in current sources.

The location of this monument, in the department of Pas-de-Calais (62), is attested by the data of the Merimée database, which places it at the approximate address of 4 Rue de l'Église. The enclosure has been protected since 1991, with an inscription covering the soil and basement of several plots. This type of castral structure generally played a central role in the feudal organization, serving as both a refuge, a symbol of power and an administrative centre for local lords.

Available sources, such as Monumentum, mention that the enclosure is today a private property, without specifying whether it is accessible to the public. Its state of conservation and current use (rent, visit, etc.) are not detailed, but its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage interest. The accuracy of its location is assessed as poor (note 5/10), which may reflect uncertainties about its exact limits or current condition.
