Château de Bonneville-sur-Touques, Medieval fortress in Bonneville-sur-Touques, France.

The castle remains stand on a promontory overlooking the Touques Valley, featuring a polygonal enclosure and five preserved towers from the original eight.

William the Conqueror used this ducal residence to divide his inheritance among his sons before departing for the conquest of England in 1066.

The castle exemplifies Norman military architecture from the 12th century, controlling the main medieval port of the Pays d'Auge region.

This historical monument stands near Saint-Germain-et-Saint-Loup church, accessible from the road running along the Norman coast.

The Tower of Robert the Devil maintains its original height of 12 meters, while other structures have lost portions of their elevation.
