Donjon de Maurepas, Medieval castle ruins in Maurepas, France.
The stone keep stands 20 meters tall on a low mound, with a farm building against its remaining structure at 2 Rue de l'Église.
The castle changed from wooden to stone construction in the 12th century, serving as a defensive structure for the Lords of Chevreuse against Norman invasions.
The Ministry of Culture recognized the feudal keep as a heritage monument in 1926, highlighting its role in medieval French military architecture.
The remains of the castle provide insights into medieval construction techniques, with the keep being the primary surviving element of the original fortress.
English forces captured and dismantled the castle in 1432 after executing its inhabitants, marking the end of its military significance.
