Château d'Olonde, Historical castle in Canville-la-Rocque, France.

The castle contains remnants from the 12th century, including two square towers reconstructed in the early 16th century and an 18th-century main building.

Built in the 11th century, Château d'Olonde was destroyed by Philippe Auguste in the early 13th century during the annexation of Normandy.

The castle served as the setting for Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly's novel 'Une histoire sans nom' published in 1882.

The castle grounds are open to visitors, situated 1.1 kilometers west of Saint-Malo Church in Canville-la-Rocque.

The property features a medieval motte-and-bailey structure with two additional mottes identified near the site in 1982.
