Château de Creil, Medieval castle in Creil, France.

The northern wing and a single tower connected to a red brick house remain from the original medieval fortified structure on Saint-Maurice island.

The English garrison surrendered the castle on May 25, 1441, after French artillery forces under King Charles VII broke through its defenses.

The castle earned recognition in Jacques Androuet du Cerceau's 1576 publication 'Les plus excellents bastiments de France' as an architectural masterwork.

The medieval hall on the ground floor of the north wing underwent archaeological assessment in March 2019 for future restoration work.

Charles IV of France, the third son of Philip IV, was born within the walls of Château de Creil in 1294.
