Château de Rambures, Military castle in Rambures, France.

Château de Rambures is a 15th-century fortress with eight round towers connected by thick walls, built primarily from red brick with limestone accents. The structure shows an innovative design developed at that time to better withstand artillery attacks.

The castle was built in the 15th century and has belonged to the same family since the 11th century, making it a rare example of continuous family tradition. Its design was created during a time of major changes in warfare, particularly with the rise of powerful cannons.

The castle holds Picardy furniture from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. The neo-Gothic chapel built in 1826 houses the tombs of the La Roche-Fontenilles family, owners from 1676 to 1930. The estate passed by inheritance to the Le Tellier de Blanchard family in 1930.

The castle and park are open from 1 March to mid-November, and by appointment the rest of the year. Access is via the D928 road, the A28 or A29 motorways, or by train to Abbeville or Blangy-sur-Bresle stations. The castle sits within a dry moat, and the towers have spiral staircases in their inner angles.

Construction began in 1412 under David de Rambures, master of the crossbowmen of France, and stopped when he died at Agincourt in 1415; his son Jacques completed the castle in 1470. The brick was laid in modular courses to resist bursting under cannonball impact, a technique compared to the original Louvre fortress in Paris.
