After besieging Laon, Henry IV ordered the citadel to be built in 1594, directed against the city itself. The district of the plain was then destroyed, as well as the church of Notre-Dame-au-marché and the church of Saint Georges. The work directed by Antoine Etienne was completed in 1598, the year in which the governor took possession of it.
At the end of the reign of Louis XIV, it was demilitarized and abandoned to retired soldiers.
During the First World War, the citadel, occupied by the Germans, served as a cantonment and hospital.
It was sold by the Army shortly after the Second World War, and became an administrative city.
