Château d'Ivry-la-Bataille, Medieval castle ruins in Ivry-la-Bataille, France
The stone donjon of Château d'Ivry-la-Bataille stands on elevated ground, providing views across the Eure River valley in Normandy.
Construction of the castle began around 1000 AD under Count Rodulf of Ivry, making it one of the first stone fortifications in Norman architecture.
The castle's architectural design influenced later Norman keeps, including those at Colchester Castle and the White Tower in London.
The archaeological site is accessible by car from major Normandy cities, with coordinates at 48.885 latitude and 1.457 longitude.
According to records, Count Rodulf's wife had the architect executed to prevent him from building similar fortifications for rival lords.
