Ferme d'Azincourt

About

Hasencort or Hasencort Castle will become the farm of Azincourt located in Emerchicourt in the Northern Department. It is located at the water-sharing limit of the Scheldt and Scarpe. The name Azincourt will extend to a mining company, a quarry, a railway and should not be confused with that of the Battle of Azincourt or the village of Azincourt in Pas-de-Calais.

The history of the place is millennia since it is evoked a feudal motte or a tertre of a Gallic tomb, then a castle destroyed in 1181 by Baudouin V de Hainaut, domain taken over in the early 13th century by Gilles Brousse, lord of Denain and Hasencort. The current farm is dated by a chronograph located on the entrance porch of 1726. A distillery will be installed there.

Undergrounds would remain. In 1840 it became part of the Compagnie des mines d'Azincourt concession. Azincourt's rider and Azincourt's career remain nearby.
