Proche de la baie de Somme, un château du 17e s., inscrit MH, prolongé par un parc avec dépendances, bois et verger. Screened from view and set on slightly rising ground, the chateau — classically composed and positioned at the edge of a wood — looks out over fields and open ground beyond the hamlet's rooftops. Lawns and ornamental trees form a verdant setting on all sides. A 15th-century dovecote, fully restored, stands on the main lawn, its polygonal silhouette a distinctive presence. Several outbuildings complete the estate: the service quarters adjoin the main house, while at the far end of the park, on lower ground, a former farm — now converted into a distillery — and a caretaker's house offer the possibility of independent use. The park, of around 3 ha, surrounds the buildings. It comprises extensive lawns leading to an orchard planted principally with apple trees, and a section of woodland.
