Château de Montfort-sur-Risle, Medieval castle ruins in Montfort-sur-Risle, France.
Château de Montfort-sur-Risle is a castle ruin located in Montfort-sur-Risle, sitting on a rocky hilltop. The remains display the outlines of walls, a keep, and other structures from the medieval period.
Hugh I of Montfort founded the fortress in 1035 as a key Norman stronghold. During an attack by King John of England in 1204, the castle was destroyed and gradually lost its importance.
The site displays remains of Norman military building techniques that are still visible in the ruins today. This style of construction shaped how defensive structures were designed in the region.
The site can be explored on foot, though the uneven ruins require sturdy footwear. Information panels help with orientation, and restroom facilities have been available since 2018.
The remains of the rectangular keep still show traces of buttresses, though only the lower level survives. This fragmentary state lets visitors directly observe how medieval defensive structures were built.
