Several historical and landscape features come together at Château d’Audrieu: the façades and roofs of the château and its outbuildings, as well as the main courtyard, have been partially protected as historic monuments since 28 December 1967. The château was built on the remains of an older château and is surrounded by moats. It also has a 25-hectare tree-filled park and formal French gardens.
Culture and History
The church in Audrieu has been classified in its entirety as a historic monument since 18 April 1914. The sacristy of the Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité contains a silver pyx that is protected as an object; it was granted protected status on 16 June 2016.
The feudal motte of Audrieu is considered the cradle of the ancestry of its lords. Audrieu cemetery is also home to the Murs du souvenir, a work by the company Maison d’histoire, which received an award at the Salon international du patrimoine culturel 2022.
