The underground passages of Nesle date back to the Middle Ages. They were excavated by hand; wherever possible, ashlar from the Oise area was used for the vaults, followed later by locally produced bricks, while some sections were carved directly into the chalk. The surviving underground passages of Nesle include sections that can be walked through because they have not collapsed and are not located on private property.
