Originally a pleasure house built in the 12th century in the town of Bray-la-Buissière, in the Pas-de-Calais, the castle of La Buissière served in particular as a second home for the Countess Mahaut d'Artois, put in before by Maurice Druon in his famous Rois maudits.
Fortified in the 15th century, it was then made up of an enclosure bordering a forest and a large rectangular keep. Entirely transformed in the 18th century, the Château de La Buissière fell into disuse at the start of the 20th century. Demolished by its new owner, the Ministry of Justice, in the 1960s, it now has only a half-ruined dungeon classified as Historical Monuments.
