Rue du Château, 02380 Coucy-le-Château-Auffrique

Put at the top of a calcareous spur, the castle of Coucy is protected by three successive levels of defence: that of the city, of the poultry-yard and finally, of the very castle. Edifié by Enguerrand III de Coucy at the beginning of the XIIIth century s. and dismantled by Mazarin in 1652\. Ruins, studied and strengthened by Viollet-le-Duc in the XIXth century s., live(remain) grandiose although seriously mutilated (destruction of four tours(towers,ballots) and of donjon) by the German army in 1917\.
