Château de Brionne

The remains of the square keep measure 20 meters by 19.70 meters with a height of 17 meters, built with thick stone and reinforced by flat buttresses.

The castle endured a prolonged siege in 1047 when Guy of Brionne took refuge in the fortress after his defeat at the Battle of Val-ès-Dunes.

The keep displays three distinct levels, including an upper floor illuminated by large windows and an attic under a gabled roof.

The castle remains are freely accessible throughout the year and are located on the Old Castle Trail in the Eure department.

The castle originally stood on an island in the Risle River in the center of town before being relocated to its current position.
