Origin and history
The "Le Blauwhuys" manor house, located in Quaëdypre, Hauts-de-France, is a building built mainly of yellow brick, with the exception of the gate and door of the house body, made of large-scale stone. Its slate cover and corner towers with curved roofs make it a remarkable example of local architecture. The manor itself dates from the 16th or 17th century, although this period remains unclear in available sources.
The chapel, integrated into the estate, was built or rebuilt in 1752, as evidenced by the date engraved on the key of the arch of its door. The barn, for its part, bears the inscription of the year 1754 on one of its gables, while the house of the farm and the stables seem to have been erected during the same construction campaign. These elements reveal a significant phase of development or renovation of the estate in the mid-18th century.
The mansion has been partially protected since 1978, with an inscription covering its facades, roofs, the entrance gate, the wall of the courtyard adorned with four statues, as well as moats. These protections highlight its heritage importance, although its detailed history and potential owners or sponsors remain undocumented in available sources. Together, including a partially raised ground floor farm and a single nave chapel, illustrates the architectural and functional evolution of rural estates in the North of France.
The location of the manor, at approximately 703 La Maison Bleue in Quaëdypre, is confirmed by GPS coordinates, but the accuracy of this location is considered to be satisfactory a priori (level 6 of 10). The site does not appear to be systematically open to the visit, and no information is provided on any services such as room rental or guest rooms. The data come mainly from the Merimée database and the Monumentum source, without additional local or regional archives.
