Château de Dieppe, Medieval castle and art museum in Dieppe, France.
The quadrangular castle stands on a cliff 30 feet above sea level, featuring round flanking towers constructed with flint and sandstone materials.
King Henry II of England established the first fortress in 1188, which Philip II of France destroyed in 1195, leading to reconstruction in the 14th century.
The castle houses collections of maritime artifacts, ivory carvings, and personal items belonging to composer Camille Saint-Saëns in its museum galleries.
Located in the heart of Dieppe, the castle museum opens daily except Tuesdays, offering guided tours through its medieval architecture and art collections.
The castle survived the Anglo-Dutch naval bombardment of 1694, maintaining its structure while most of the surrounding town suffered extensive damage.
