Château d'Harcourt, Medieval castle in Harcourt, France.
The fortress features a commanding polygonal structure with a central stone tower, fortified gates, and a deep surrounding moat dating from the Middle Ages.
Robert II d'Harcourt, who accompanied Richard the Lionheart during the crusades, constructed the first stone castle in the second half of the 12th century.
The castle represents the power dynamics of Norman nobility, as the Harcourt family maintained their position among the most influential barons in medieval Normandy.
The castle opens its doors to visitors from March to November, with extended hours during summer months between mid-June and mid-September.
Within the castle grounds lies France's oldest arboretum, adding natural heritage to the historical significance of this medieval structure.
