Château de Boves, Medieval castle ruins in Boves, France.
The remains of Château de Boves stand on a chalk cliff reaching 71 meters high, with two surviving walls from its southeast tower.
Founded in the 9th century, the castle underwent major transformations until 1595, when its stones were removed to construct other buildings.
Archaeological excavations between 1996 and 2019 revealed detailed information about the castle's role as a regional power center from the 9th to 17th centuries.
The fortress site measures 100 meters long by 80 meters wide, surrounded by earth ramparts and ditches accessible from the plateau.
The mound construction incorporated advanced drainage techniques for rainwater management, contributing to the structure's preservation through centuries.
