Lucheux is a
medieval town with many remarkable monuments: • The
belfry, listed as an historic monument in 1896 and a
UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005 (as part of a group of
Belfries of Belgium and France) because of its architecture and historical importance in civic affairs. • The fifteenth-century château. Dominating the town on the road leading north to
Avesnes-le-Comte), it presents an abrupt wall into the valley and the forest with the ruins of some round towers. The moat surrounding the fortress is preserved and can be visited. Some parts are overgrown and inaccessible. The vestiges of the round towers are hidden on their exterior face, but the entrance is well restored. The interior allows an understanding of the dimensions of the dwelling space available to the lord of the manor, with its walls and double bays of the Great Hall, below which one can see the moat and a preserved section of the
keep or
donjon. • The church, dating from the twelfth century. • An unusual hollow tree, known as the "marriage tree" • Many restored typical
Picardy houses. Image:Lucheux château (tour ronde bordant fossé) 1.jpg|Château walls and moat Image:Lucheux donjon 1.jpg|Ruins of the donjon Image:Lucheux cimetière (croix de fonte) tombe DONNETTE-HURET.jpg|Cemetery Image:Lucheux cadran solaire 1.jpg|Sundial ==People==
