Château de Courcy, Medieval castle ruins in Courcy, France
The castle presents three concentric enclosures with nine round towers and one square tower, reaching heights of 10 meters at the inner fortification.
Built around 1200, the castle experienced a significant siege in 1091 when Robert Curthose, son of William the Conqueror, attacked the stronghold.
The remnants include a 12th-century Saint Catherine chapel within the fortification walls, which underwent modifications during the 15th and 16th centuries.
The castle ruins, located near the Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais church, received protected status as a monument historique from the French Ministry of Culture in 1975.
The fortress transformed from a military stronghold to an agricultural domain following its partial demolition under Cardinal Richelieu's orders in the 17th century.
