Fortifications of Rouen, Medieval castle fortification in Rouen, France.
The Tour Jeanne d'Arc, the remaining tower of Rouen Castle, stands 90 feet high with walls 12 feet thick within the city center.
Philip II of France constructed Rouen Castle between 1204 and 1210 after capturing Normandy from John, Duke of Normandy and King of England.
The castle served as the primary administrative and political center of Normandy for four centuries, marking its role in French governance.
Visitors can access the Tour Jeanne d'Arc through guided tours that include a virtual reality experience about the Hundred Years' War.
The tower transformed into a German military bunker during World War II, receiving camouflage modifications to its pointed roof.
