Château d'Orcher, Medieval castle in Gonfreville-l'Orcher, France.

The castle features a square crenellated tower positioned on a cliff, offering views across the Seine River and surrounding countryside.

The fortress underwent reconstruction after its partial destruction in 1360, later transforming into a residential château during the 18th century.

The architecture combines medieval defensive elements with subsequent modifications that reflect the changing needs of French nobility through centuries.

Visitors can participate in guided tours throughout the year to learn about the castle's architecture and explore the maintained gardens.

Three square towers within a trapezoidal enclosure protected the central keep, creating an advanced defensive system for its time.
