Château de Fressin, Medieval castle ruins in Fressin, France
The stone remains of the fortress display eight cylindrical towers and defensive bastions adapted for artillery from the fifteenth century construction period.
Jean V de Créquy, advisor to Philip the Good, built this military stronghold in the 1450s before its destruction by Balthazar de Fargues in 1658.
The castle grounds feature a medieval garden containing two plant conservatories that maintain collections of historical botanical specimens from the Middle Ages.
The archaeological site opens to visitors during summer months, offering access to uncovered underground passages, chambers, and wells through guided tours.
The fortress location served as a strategic control point for the Planquette Valley, monitoring troop movements between contested strongholds of Thérouanne and Hesdin.
