Château de Montfort-sur-Risle, Medieval castle ruins in Montfort-sur-Risle, France.
The castle extends across 4.6 hectares on a rocky spur, reaching 120 meters in altitude with dimensions of 280 meters in depth and 165 meters in width.
Hugh I of Montfort constructed the fortress in 1035, which later suffered destruction during a siege by King John of England in 1204.
The site received classification as a Monument Historique in 1937, preserving the remnants of Norman military architecture from the 11th century.
Archaeological excavations continue at the site, with new public facilities including restrooms and an informative courtyard established in 2018.
The rectangular keep measures 18 by 16 meters, with only the first level remaining and traces of buttresses still visible among the ruins.
