Château de Bernicourt, Historical castle in Roost-Warendin, France.

Château de Bernicourt stands on a large estate with outbuildings, gates, a farm structure with multiple entrances, and gardens featuring a water feature. The property includes several structures that together show what a working estate looked like in past centuries.

A manor with a farmyard stood at Bernicourt from around 1374. The present château was built in 1743 on a 25-hectare estate and remained a seigneurial residence until the early 20th century. The Houillères owned it from 1930 to 1985 and lodged their managers and employees there; the town of Roost-Warendin bought it in 1985 and opened it to the public in 1989.

The ground floor and basement house an eco-museum that recreates early 20th-century life for visitors. Reconstructed classrooms and artisan workshops show how people worked and lived during that period.

The château and its outbuildings, gate and grille, farm building and park with its water feature lie within a 25-hectare estate, so allow time to walk between them. The ground floor holds temporary exhibitions and the first floor and cellar the eco-museum. The site has been open to the public since 1989.

The basement holds a collection of tools and equipment showing how traditional craftspeople such as wheelwrights, shoemakers, and blacksmiths worked. These workshops remain preserved and give visitors a direct view of how hands-on trades were actually practiced.
