Château de Laprée, 18th-century castle in Quiestède, France

The Château de Laprée features a moat, drawbridge, and extensive gardens designed in the English landscape style during the 19th century modifications.

Built in 1740 by Dominique-Jean-Jacques de Lencquesaing after a fire destroyed the previous residence, the castle stands on the foundations of an earlier feudal structure.

The castle contains valuable archives documenting northern French history and houses an extensive portrait-based family tree of the Lencquesaing lineage.

Visitors can explore the castle during Heritage Days, with the property located at 1 Château de Laprée, 62120 Quiestède, accessible from Aire-sur-Lys and Saint-Omer.

Since 1669, the Château de Laprée has remained in the Lencquesaing family's possession, passing primarily from father to eldest son for over three centuries.
