Château de l'Échelle
Highlight • Castle
On September 28, 1642, at dawn, Spanish troops sacked the village and attacked the castle. The walls of the castle still show the traces of the cannon balls. In 1730, L'Échelle Castle was acquired by the Reims Cathedral Chapter, and the building was subsequently rededicated as a farm.
During the French Revolution, the building was sold to Simon Pottier, the hat maker from L'Echelle. He then handed over a large part of it to the community, installed the town hall as well as the school and the teachers' accommodation.
Part of the residential buildings of the north wing have been converted into a school history museum, for the nostalgic community (the elementary school from the 1900s to 1960s), with the inkwell, the sergeant major pens (which preceded the pens), the slates, etc.
