Château fort de Toucy, Medieval castle ruins in Toucy, France.
The remains of the fortified castle stand on a hill overlooking the Ouanne Valley, featuring limestone walls and a bishops' tower.
The initial castle was built in 980 by Bishop Heribert, then reconstructed in 1100 by Bishop Humbaud who added a chapel serving as the parish church.
The castle architecture demonstrates military construction methods from the 12th century, incorporating defensive elements characteristic of the feudal period.
The castle ruins are freely accessible throughout the year and located near Saint-Pierre Church, built on the former ramparts.
The castle burned down in 1423 during a siege by English forces in the Hundred Years' War, marking a turning point in Toucy's history.
