Château de Tournebu, Medieval castle in Cinglais, Calvados, France.
The cylindrical keep of Château de Tournebu rises three stories high, reaching 21 meters in height and 12 meters in diameter in the heart of Normandy.
Built in the 12th century, the castle participated in the French-English conflicts of the 14th and 15th centuries before passing to the Thère family in 1452.
The stonemasons left their distinctive marks in geometric patterns on the stones of the keep, demonstrating medieval construction techniques.
The castle remains, registered as a historic monument since 1927, are private property and currently not open to visitors.
The keep features a specific architecture with levels separated by rectangular stone rows and Louis XIII style chimneys.
