The Château de Vadencourt was almost completely rebuilt in stone at the beginning of the 18th century. The façades, roofs, and entrance gate of the 18th-century Château de Vadencourt were listed as historic monuments by decree of December 30, 1988.
History
The rectangular central building of the Château de Vadencourt is complemented by two long wings set back at right angles. These end in two round towers with conical roofs and are connected by a wrought-iron grille attributed to Vivarais.
The Vadencourt cemetery also still preserves a 19th-century burial enclosure belonging to the château's lords. Vadencourt has been the seat of an important seigneurie since the Middle Ages.
