Chateau d'Armentieres, Practical Info

Chateau d'Armentieres is a ruined medieval castle in France's northern Hauts-de-France region. The ruins were bought by the Kerekes family in 2004 who are now in charge of the never-ending restoration and preservation process. The castle which survived the French revolution unharmed was severely damaged during the Great War and decades of neglect afterwards.

In this interview the castle owners tell a story of strength and stamina as they do their best to rescue the ruined castle from falling apart. They are inspired by what they do for the sake of history, cultural heritage and architecture.
