Château d'Amfreville, Fortified house in Amfreville, France.
The stone castle features two circular towers flanking the main entrance gate, with a moat surrounding the medieval structure in Normandy.
The castle's foundation dates back to the 11th century during William the Conqueror's time, with subsequent modifications in the 14th and 15th centuries.
This registered historical monument represents the architectural evolution of Norman defensive structures from medieval to modern periods through its various building phases.
The castle grounds connect to a 900-meter private driveway, with the moat filling naturally during the annual January-February flooding season.
The castle's strategic position on a ridge between Sallenelles and Troarn provided clear views of Sword Beach during the D-Day operations.
