Castle of Carrouges, Renaissance castle in Carrouges, Normandy, France.
The red-brick fortress presents both military fortifications and residential sections, surrounded by a protective moat and formal gardens.
The original structure from the 14th century underwent reconstruction after English forces destroyed it during the Hundred Years War.
The castle contains period furniture, tapestries, and decorative elements that reflect the lifestyle of Norman nobility through different centuries.
The castle offers guided tours in multiple languages, with access to the formal gardens, historical rooms, and exhibitions throughout the year.
This castle was the setting of France's last judicial duel in 1386, an event that later became the subject of a major motion picture.
