Origin and history

Applincourt Farm is an emblematic building located in the town of Limé, in the department of Aisne (Hautes-de-France). This manor house, dating back to the 15th century, illustrates late medieval rural architecture, with characteristics specific to agricultural holdings of the period. Its registration as a historic monument in 1927 is a testament to its heritage importance, although the precise details of its construction or its first owners remain poorly documented in the available sources.

The location of the farm at 9 Rue d'Applincourt reflects its anchoring in the local landscape, where agriculture has long been the economic base. In medieval times, manor farms such as Applincourt played a central role: they served as both a place of production, a residence for local farmers or lords, and a symbol of economic power in the countryside. Their preservation makes it possible today to study lifestyles, agricultural techniques and social organization of the 15th and 16th centuries in Picardia.

The registration of the farm of Applincourt in 1927 is part of a broader approach to protecting the French rural heritage, often less highlighted than castles or churches. The protected elements, referred to as the "old farm mansion of Applincourt", underline its hybrid status between noble habitat and farming. Despite a geographical accuracy considered "passable" (note 5/10) in the databases, its address and its Insee code (02432) make it possible to place it with certainty in the territory of Aisne, formerly attached to Picardia.
