Château de Robert-le-Diable, Medieval castle ruin in Moulineaux, France.
The fortress stands on a hilltop overlooking the River Seine, with remaining stone walls and towers reflecting 11th-century military architecture.
King John of England constructed the castle in the early 13th century before Philip II of France took control and ordered its reconstruction.
The castle name derives from Robert the Devil, a legendary Norman knight who, according to local tales, was believed to be Satan's son.
Located 20 minutes from Rouen, the castle grounds offer free access and multiple forest paths for walking through the surrounding woods.
During the Hundred Years' War, local inhabitants deliberately damaged the castle's towers to prevent English forces from using them as a stronghold.
