A castle preserved by the municipality of Roost Warendin which deserves your visit when it opens. Next slot, the Heritage Days in September.

Surprising and exciting, this pretty castle is worth the detour! Built in the middle of the 18th century, it has been restored (parquet, marquetry and grisaille paintings are from the period). Emptied of its furniture by the former owners, it now houses a museum "of ancient times" with reconstructions of daily life at the beginning of the 20th century. Thank you to the person from the town hall for the guided tour which was as interesting as it was friendly.

Abbey of Saint-Georges

Saint-Georges de Boscherville Abbey is a former Benedictine abbey. It was founded in about 1113 by Guillaume de Tancarville on the site of an earlier establishment of secular canons and settled by monks from the Abbey of Saint-Evroul. The abbey church made of Caumont stone was erected from 1113 to 1140. The Norman builders aimed to have very well-lit naves and they did this by means of tall, large windows, initially made possible by a wooden ceiling, which prevented uplift, although this was replaced by a Gothic vault in the 13th century. The chapter room was built after the abbey church and dates from the last quarter of the 12th century.

The arrival of the Maurist monks in 1659, after the disasters of the Wars of Religion, helped to get the abbey back on a firmer spiritual, architectural and economic footing. They erected a large monastic building one wing of which fitted tightly around the chapter house (which was otherwise left as it was).
