Origin and history

Berles-Monchel Castle was built in two phases by the Lallart family. In 1704, she acquired the land and built around 1730 a small strong house with a farm. This first ensemble, sold as a national asset during the Revolution, was bought in the early 19th century by Josephus Albertine Lallart. His daughter, Marie-Charlotte Lallart, then enlarged the castle by linking it to the farm, giving the estate its present appearance.

In 1823, the two-hectare English park was built, replacing an old French garden. The estate changed ownership in 1852, when Abel Tournois de Bonnevalet acquired it. Since then, he has remained in his offspring. The castle, its farm and its park are listed as historical monuments by order of 2 May 2016, recognizing their heritage value.

The site illustrates the architectural and landscape evolution of aristocratic residences between the 18th and 19th centuries, mixing defensive heritage (strong house), agricultural functions (firm) and romantic aesthetics (English park). Its history also reflects the political upheavals of the Revolution, marked by the sale of national goods.
