Château de Davenescourt, Heritage castle in Davenescourt, France

Château de Davenescourt is a castle built in the late 1700s with facades reflecting Louis XVI style, featuring projecting sections and a grand perron entry. The building contains multiple rooms including a ground floor salon and bedroom, along with a chapel located on the estate.

The seigneurie passed through the families of Hangest, Noyelles, Vicassières and Duprat de Barbançon before Gabriel de La Myre bought it in 1682; his descendants still own the château. In the last years of Louis XVI's reign, Lucie Philippine de Cardevac de Gouy, widow of Count Gabriel Melchior de La Myre, began the present building on the site of an older château destroyed in the Spanish invasions of 1652. The outbuildings date from the second quarter of the 19th century.

During World War I, the castle served as a military hospital, receiving distinguished guests including Belgian King Albert I and French President Raymond Poincare.

The castle stands in Davenescourt, in the Somme north of Montdidier, and is still owned by the descendants of Gabriel de La Myre, who bought the seigneurie in 1682. The entrance gate, chapel, facades and roofs, main staircase, ground-floor salon and bedroom are classified or listed monuments, so visits are arranged in advance rather than by drop-in. The park was laid out by landscape designer Édouard André.

The hydraulic water-supply system of the estate, together with the park and its walls, was listed as a monument historique by an arrêté of 11 May 2009, not part of the 1977 classification. The chapel near the entrance, decorated with high-relief carvings, was built about forty years before the château.
