Château de La Fère

Château de La Fère is a castle built during the Renaissance period using brick and stone, dating from the late 15th and 16th centuries. The remaining wing still displays this combination of materials and the craftsmanship of that era.

Marie de Luxembourg commissioned the castle in the 16th century, and the royal family later made it their own property. In 1596 it formally became part of the French Crown estate.

The castle displays stone staircases and vaulted rooms built by Renaissance craftsmen. These interior elements show the building methods that were common at that time.

The castle stands on Rue du Maréchal Juin and is partly visible from outside, though some sections remain private property. Visitors should note that access to certain areas is not possible, and it is best to explore the accessible exterior areas.

The castle received its protected status as a historical monument in 1965 and was then recognized again in 1994 through a heritage decree. This double recognition shows how important its preservation is for French history.
