Château de Conches-en-Ouche, Medieval castle ruins in Conches-en-Ouche, France
The castle features a round keep with walls measuring 2.6 meters thick, surrounded by defensive towers including the Capital Tower from 1363.
Roger I of Tosny established the fortress in 1034, which later became a strategic stronghold during the conflicts between French and English forces.
The fortress demonstrates Norman military architecture through its design, incorporating a motte foundation and multiple circular defensive structures.
While the outer grounds function as a public park with a library and town hall, the inner keep remains closed due to falling stones.
The Capital Tower, added in 1363, stands on a square base while maintaining a round structure, marking an unusual architectural choice for that period.
