Château du Bec-Crespin, Medieval castle and historical monument in Saint-Martin-du-Bec, France
The Château du Bec-Crespin stands within a 28-hectare wooded park, featuring five towers, vaulted Romanesque cellars, and architectural elements from the 17th century.
The castle, established around 1200, served as a refuge for Belgian government officials during World War I and stored municipal archives from Le Havre in World War II.
The architectural design incorporates local materials, including red bricks and white stones arranged in checkerboard patterns, with distinctive window shapes and geometric decorations.
Visitors can explore this heritage site, which now functions as a bed and breakfast establishment while maintaining its status as a protected historical monument.
The castle utilizes the Lézarde river spring through aquathermy for heating, combining historical preservation with modern environmental technology.
