Origin and history

The House of the Chapter of Croissy-sur-Celle is a former presbytery whose origins date back to the 15th century for certain elements, although its main construction is dated from the 16th and 18th centuries. Located in the Oise, this brick and stone house preserves a wood-pan structure and torchis visible on the garden side, as well as 18th-century paneling and fireplaces. Its staircase, with a baluster ramp, could date back to the 17th century. This building illustrates the economic activity of the cathedral chapter of Amiens, from the Middle Ages to the 18th century.

The monument and its garden were listed as historical monuments by order of 28 August 2013, amended on 9 November 2013. The protection covers the entire house and its garden, emphasizing its heritage importance. The House of Chapter thus embodies an architectural heritage linked to the religious and economic history of Picardia, now integrated into the Hauts-de-France.

The building combines medieval features, such as its large brick and stone work, with later developments, such as the 18th-century window and fireplaces. These elements make it a rare example of architectural continuity between the Middle Ages and the modern era, reflecting the evolution of construction techniques and the uses of a rural rectory.
