Château de Montmorency (Montigny-en-Ostrevent)

The Château de Montmorency is a former castle in the commune of Montigny-en-Ostrevent in the Nord département of France.

Around 1130, Robert I, named Montigny, built a stone tower on a motte created on marshy, wooded land.

In 1789, during the French Revolution, the castle was declared state property and sold in 1793 to the Dovillers family, who converted it into a farm.

[1] In 1985, l’Établissement et service d’aide par le travail (ESAT) de Montigny moved into the castle.

ESAT provides vocational training to handicapped workers, including catering and work with horses.
