Château de la Rivière, Medieval castle ruins in Saint-Fromond, France

The castle structure displays remnants of defensive walls and towers positioned near marshlands approximately 10 kilometers from the English Channel coast.

The construction of Château de la Rivière began around 1090 under the direction of Odon de Carteville, the half-brother of William the Conqueror.

The castle represents a significant example of Norman medieval architecture and maintains strong connections to both French and English historical narratives.

Visitors should prepare for marshy terrain when exploring the ruins, and checking local accessibility information beforehand is recommended.

The castle's location shifted from its original coastal position to its current inland setting due to geographical changes over nine centuries.

Location: Saint-Fromond

Inception: 11 century
