Medieval Gœulzin Castle from the 17th century. During the Great War, this castle was occupied by German troops, pillaged and abandoned. Its ruined state dates from this period.

The ruins of Goeulzin Castle are what remains of a medieval fortress which was burned down twice in the 16th century and rebuilt by a Count of Bucquoy. The castle, located in the marshy Sensée valley, played a defensive role until the 18th century, when it was abandoned and pillaged. We can still see the remains of its walls, its towers and its main facade with this characteristic plan of stepped gables. You can also admire the neighboring tower which served as an ice house and dovecote in the 18th century.

You can admire the architecture of the cemetery, designed by W C Von Berg, and pay tribute to fallen heroes.

The image is really small. We had to search after driving past it for the first time.

Small statue of Menhir Bouteroue by Palluel near the roundabout. The Sensée valley is known for its mysterious menhirs and dolmens: stones from Lécluse or Aubigny-au-Bac, large boulder from Oisy-le-Verger, ... Most monoliths testify to a primitive religion. Now legends are resurfacing, tongues are wagging and myths still have bright days ahead.

Menhir to discover at the end of a small path. Be careful, in the rainy season, the path is very marshy. https://nord-decouverte.fr/linsolite-menhir-doisy-le-verger-vallee-de-la-sensee/
