Château de Landas, 17th century castle in Loos, France.
Description
The Château de Landas is a 17th century castle with a rectangular plan built from alternating stone and brick layers. The two-story structure includes a private chapel at its center.
History
King Louis XIV used the castle as headquarters during the 1667 siege of Lille when it was owned by Philippe Charles de la Haye. This connection shows its strategic importance during a crucial military campaign in the region.
Culture
The chapel inside the residence shows how prayer and daily life were closely connected for noble families of that era. This combination of spiritual and domestic space shaped how residents organized their days.
Practical
The castle is situated on Avenue Kühlmann in Loos and remains private property. Access requires written permission from the owner in advance.
Did you know?
In 1961 the entire castle was relocated about 100 meters (328 feet) to prevent its demolition during construction of the Lille-Armentières highway. This remarkable feat of engineering allowed the structure to survive when the land was needed for modern infrastructure.
