Caen Castle

Caen Castle is one of the largest medieval fortresses in Europe, founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century. Overlooking the center of Caen, it offers a clear sense of Normandy’s ducal and military past, with extensive ramparts, gateways, and open courtyards to explore. Inside the walls, visitors can also find the Museum of Normandy and the Museum of Fine Arts. It is a worthwhile stop for travelers interested in medieval history, architecture, and panoramic views over the city.
