Origin and history
La Ferme du Boulanc, located in Verderonne in the Hauts-de-France, is a historical monument dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. It was mentioned as a dependency of the neighbouring castle in 1736, when the lord of Laubespine became its owner. Although its construction seems to date back to the 17th century, its current architectural features mainly reflect the 18th and 19th centuries. It embodies a homogeneous example of rural housing, with its outbuildings and its closed spatial organization, typical of the farms of this period.
The farm is distinguished by notable architectural elements, such as a ramped central staircase, exposed floor ceilings, and stucco decorations above the fireplaces, dating from the 18th century. These details highlight its status as a rural residence associated with agricultural activities, in a enclosed setting including courtyard, fence walls, vegetable garden, orchard and garden. The entire site, including buildings, parcels and fences, was listed in the Historic Monuments by order of 7 March 2008.
Originally linked to the Château de Verderonne, the Ferme du Boulanc bears witness to the social and economic organization of the seigneurial estates in Picardie. In modern times, these farms played a central role in local agricultural production, while serving as a residence for farmers or farmers in charge of their operations. Their architecture often reflected the social status of their occupants, between functional simplicity and decors inspired by nearby noble residences.
