Châteauneuf-sur-Epte, Medieval castle in Château-sur-Epte, France.

The stone fortress features a circular enclosure of 110 meters in diameter with a deep moat and a central mound topped by a cylindrical tower.

Built in 1097 by William Rufus, King of England, the castle served as a strategic defensive position on the border between Normandy and the French kingdom.

The castle represents medieval Norman military architecture with its round keep, square gate towers, and substantial defensive structures that controlled the Epte river valley.

The castle opens throughout the year for guided tours, located halfway between Paris and Rouen, with an entrance fee of 6 euros for adults.

The cylindrical keep measures 11.20 meters in diameter and stands 18 meters tall on a mound that narrows from 50 meters at its base to 20 meters at the summit.
