Why visit the Coucy Castle?
Nestled in the picturesque Picardy region, Coucy Castle is one of the grandest fortresses in northern France. Your entry ticket allows you to explore the remnants of this fortress built in the 13th century by Enguerrand III de Boves to protect his domain and showcase his authority. Although disassembled in 1652 and later used as a stone quarry, the site was acquired by the French State in 1848, with preservation efforts led by architects like Viollet-le-Duc. Many remnants, although partially destroyed during World War I, still stand. Your ticket grants you access to stroll along the perimeter and admire the remains, including the former chapel and other architectural elements that reflect the castle's grandeur.
