Origin and history

The Sainte-Luce farm, located in Béthisy-Saint-Martin (Oise, Hauts-de-France region), is a monument dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries. This site is particularly remarkable for its residential building, which preserves 12th century windows, architectural testimonies of this medieval period. These elements, along with other 13th century windows, led to its inscription as a Historic Monument by decree of 22 August 1949, highlighting their exceptional heritage value.

The monument is located with a precision deemed "very satisfactory" (note 8/10), and its exact address, 5087 F Sainte-Luce, is referenced in the Merimée base under the code Insee 60067. Although the practical information on the visits or services offered (rental, bed and breakfast) is not detailed in the available sources, the farm remains an emblematic example of the medieval rural architecture of the Picardie region, now integrated with Hauts-de-France. The official protection relates specifically to the 13th century windows of the residential building.
