Vic-sur-Aisne Castle

Highlight • Castle

In the heart of the village of Vic-sur-Aisne, surrounded by a leafy park and overlooking the Aisne valley, lies the imposing Château de Vic-sur-Aisne. What today appears to be an elegant country house, bears in its walls the traces of a turbulent past. Originally built on the foundations of a medieval castrum, the estate grew in the 17th century into a stately castle, with symmetrical facades, round towers and an impressive thirteen-metre high keep — a remnant from the 13th century. The architecture reflects the transition from defensive structure to residential comfort: robust, but refined. The gardens, partly in French style with straight lines and box hedges, partly in English landscape style with winding paths and romantic corners, invite you to stroll and contemplate.

Church of Berzy-le-Sec

Highlight • Religious Site

The Crise Valley is a historic site where important battles were fought. Numerous churches and castles were built there, and remnants can still be seen. The castle of Berzy-le-Sec dates back to between the 12th and 16th centuries, having undergone several construction phases. The ruins of this building remain today: adjacent ditches and a courtyard. The castle was converted into a farm from the 18th century until the First World War.
