Château d'Heilly, Historic castle ruins in Heilly, France.

The castle spans across two plateaus in the Ancre valley, featuring remnants of both feudal and classical architectural elements on its grounds.

Originally constructed in the 11th century, the castle underwent multiple reconstructions after Spanish forces burned it in 1553 and 1636.

The castle grounds included an orangery, stables, support walls, and a grand canal extending from Heilly to Ribemont, reflecting French aristocratic lifestyle.

The site received official recognition as a historical monument in 2009 and remains accessible for visitors interested in French medieval architecture.

In 1840, the castle gate was removed and transferred to Château de Bertangles, creating a physical connection between these historical structures.
