Description
Built for Richard the Lionheart, this masterpiece of military architecture was designed to defend the frontier of Normandy from France. Many battles have been waged against its walls, and within them too. In a matter of years after Richard I's death, the French captured the fortress by making a surprise attack through the castle's latrines.
