In the village of Soupir, France lies the Château de Soupir, a 16th-century manor rebuilt in the 19th century, though only the triumphal arch built shortly after 1906 remains today.
The château met its end in November 1914 due to bombardments and was dismantled in 1926. In 2007, the ruins of the castle were inscribed as a historic monument.
After the conflict, the ruins and the surrounding land were sold to an agricultural company. This company transformed the property into fields, destroying what remained of the castle.
