Château de Mont-l'Évêque

Château de Mont-l'Évêque is a castle in Mont-l'Évêque, France, consisting of three main buildings, four cylindrical towers with conical roofs, an administrative wing, and a chapel within a landscaped park. The complex was rebuilt in the 19th century and shapes the appearance of the location.

The site's origins date to 1214, when King Philip Augustus granted the land to Bishop Guérin of Senlis. This gesture honored his service at the Battle of Bouvines and established the connection between the location and ecclesiastical authority.

The castle displays architectural features of the troubadour style with medieval elements like crenellations and pointed arch windows. These design choices from the 19th-century renovation reflect a romantic interpretation of the past.

The castle grounds are open daily for viewing the exterior and surrounding landscape. Guided group tours can be arranged in advance for those seeking more detailed information.

The chapel holds a 14th-century jubé from the Carmel of Metz, which originally came from a religious community. This carved screen was relocated before eventually being installed at the castle.
