Ferme du château de Trappes, Medieval castle farm in Trappes, France
The farm complex stands on the foundations of a 13th-century castle, featuring remains of eleven watchtowers and a central courtyard structure.
The castle belonged to multiple royal abbeys, including Notre-Dame d'Argenteuil and Saint-Denis Abbey, before its transformation into a farm in the late 17th century.
The castle served as a judicial center with courtroom and prison facilities located in two adjacent towers during medieval times.
The former castle entrance now functions as a municipal technical center, with visible moat traces along Rue du Martray.
The Pluchet family, who operated the farm in the 19th century, developed their own plow design and created a specific breed of sheep.
