Château de Beaumont-le-Richard
Château de Beaumont-le-Richard, Medieval castle in Englesqueville-la-Percée, France
The castle features two round towers covered with stone caps, remnants of an enclosure, and a castle chapel on a hilltop location.
Richard I du Hommet, the second Constable of Normandy, established this 12th-century fortress, which later transformed into a farm after its noble decline.
The castle chapel, converted for religious services around 1640, represents the architectural evolution from military stronghold to spiritual center.
Visitors can examine the preserved Roman buildings from the mid-12th century, including a residential block and a great hall.
Lead and stone coffins discovered in the 19th century near the castle ruins indicate its function as a burial ground.
