Château Mennechet, 19th century castle in Chiry-Ourscamp, France.

The white stone facade of Château Mennechet stands among green surroundings in the Oise department of northern France.

Construction of Château Mennechet began in 1881 under Alphonse Mennechet de Barival but halted upon his death in 1903, leaving the structure incomplete.

The castle was designed to house an art gallery to honor Mennechet's late wife, with architectural elements similar to the Fine Arts Museum of Amiens.

The ruins and remaining outbuildings received official historical monument status in 2011, allowing for their preservation and protection.

Bullet impacts and structural damage from World War I remain visible on the castle walls, providing physical evidence of the region's military history.
