In 853, Charles Le Chauve had manors built to protect the region from Norman invaders - the first Château of Querrieu was among them. It was destroyed, rebuilt and altered over the centuries. In 1916 it housed the British General Staff during the visit of King George V.
The 18th century château of Chaussoy has been a listed historical building since 1992. It was built of stone, an oddity in Picardy where most buildings were a mixture of brick and stone.
