Tour Jeanne-d'Arc, Medieval keep in Rouen, France.
The Tour Jeanne-d'Arc stands 30 meters tall with 4-meter-thick limestone walls and contains four floors connected by a spiral staircase.
Philip II of France constructed this fortified tower between 1204 and 1210 following his capture of Normandy from Duke John.
The tower housed interrogation sessions during Joan of Arc's trial in 1431, though she was actually imprisoned in a different section of the castle.
Visitors can now participate in historical escape games inside the tower, with teams of 2 to 8 players solving medieval-themed puzzles.
During World War II, German forces modified the structure into a military bunker, adding defensive reinforcements to the medieval architecture.
