Vieille Cour Castle, Medieval castle in Oudon, France.

The remains of Vieille Cour Castle stand on a hillside, maintaining a southern gable wall measuring approximately ten meters in height.

The castle demolition was ordered in 1392 by Alain de Malestroit with permission from Duke John IV of Brittany to build a new fortress.

The site demonstrates medieval military architecture with its upper courtyard protected by walls, a tower, and a gatehouse from the original structure.

The ruins are now maintained by an association and open to visitors during European Heritage Days events throughout the year.

The castle overlooks the Hâvre valley from 50 meters high, built on a rocky foundation that provided natural support for defensive structures.
