Château des Tourelles, Medieval castle in Vernon, France
The square tower of Château des Tourelles rises twenty meters high and features four round turrets at each corner of the structure.
Philippe Auguste constructed the castle in 1196 after seizing Vernon from the English to protect the strategic bridge crossing over the Seine River.
The French Ministry of Culture designated Château des Tourelles as a monument historique classé in 1945, recognizing its architectural preservation.
The castle grounds, located at 4 rue Ogereau in Vernon, remain accessible to visitors who wish to explore the exterior and gardens.
The structure maintains its original medieval design and stands on the foundation of a former wheat mill built upon ancient bridge piers.
