Château de Montières, 19th century castle in Amiens, France.
Château de Montières is a 19th century castle in Amiens featuring brick and stone construction across three levels. The building displays a central pavilion with two side wings and square corner pavilions creating a symmetrical composition.
A member of the d'Halloy d'Hocquincourt family, known for their high judicial positions in Amiens, had the castle built in 1820. It became one of the notable residences established during the early 19th century expansion in the region.
The residence was given to a missionary community in 1940, transforming it into a place of care for the surrounding population. This gift allowed nuns to provide medical services and support to local people.
The castle now functions as a retirement residence for permanent residents housed in single and double rooms. The surrounding park with various mature trees creates a planted setting that frames the building.
The park surrounding the property includes several distinct tree species including a soap tree and plane trees that are quite old. These mature specimens have become part of the character of the grounds over the decades.
