Origin and history
The Neuville-Coppelgueule Manor House, located in the eponymous village of Hauts-de-France, is a 17th-century building whose main brick and sandstone body bears the date of 1659, engraved by anchor. This rectangular building, covered with a slate roof, preserves a potentially original structure and a facade adorned with diamond fittings. Its architecture reflects the local constructive techniques of the time, combining noble materials and craftsmanship.
At the beginning of the 19th century, two symmetrical wings at one level were added on both sides of the central body, thus widening the structure without altering its harmony. The courtyard is dominated by an isolated dovecote, typical of seigneurial estates, built in brick and slate with white lime coatings. These elements, as well as the commons closing the court, were protected by an inscription in the Historical Monuments in 1988.
The set illustrates the evolution of a rural residence, originally conceived as a prestigious residence in the 17th century, then adapted to the agricultural and residential needs of the following centuries. The presence of a sandstone base and overcooked bricks underscores the importance attached to durability and aesthetics, characteristic of the peak manors of this period.
The location of the mansion, in the Somme, makes it a witness to the rural history of Hauts-de-France, where brick constructions – abundant materials in the region – dominated vernacular architecture. Its designation as Historic Monuments in 1988 preserved its facades, roofs, and dovecote, key elements of its heritage identity.
Today, the Neuville-Coppelgueule mansion, located at 12 Rue Jean Moulin, remains a remarkable example of the architectural heritage of the 17th and 19th centuries, combining functionality and elegance. Its conservation status and legal protection make it a site of interest for the study of rural habitat in Picardie.
The accuracy of its location is assessed as satisfactory (level 7/10), thanks to the GPS coordinates and address provided in the Merimée base. This level of detail facilitates its identification and enhancement in the local heritage.
