Over de locatie

Musée de Normandie

Le Château, 14000 Caen, France

Calvados

Normandie

The castle of Caen was founded around 1060 by William the Conqueror. The stone donjon and the Exchequer room were erected around 1120 by Henry I Beauclerc, son of William the Conqueror. Under Philip Augustus, the keep was surrounded by a jacket flanked by four circular towers and lined with ditches. In the 14th century, a residence (now the governor’s residence) was built, and remodelled in the 16th and 18th centuries. The church of Saint-Georges, from the 12th century, was remodelled in the 16th century (the nave paneled has kept its frame and its Romanesque windows). From the 17th century, the castle lost its defensive use and became a garrison place. After the Revolution, the dungeon was leveled, the ditches filled and the site assigned to the army.
