That's all what's left...
Built around 1123 by Henry I Beauclerc, Duke of Normandy and King of England (son of William de Conqueror), its construction made Vire one of the most significant strongholds in Normandy. The castle was slighted by order of Richelieu in 1630.

The ruins of the quadrangular tower are still impressive. The western facade is notable for its powerful flat buttresses, windows and fireplaces visible over three stories with traces of defensive structures.

A great set of images, what fascinates me is how did they mange to build these structures with the tools that were available to them, it's like the big cathedrals

Merci Pascal, c'est assez impressionnant comme le donjon s'élève sur les rochers, comme seul témoin du château disparu.

Danke Walter. Wie ich oben schon schrieb, konnte ich mich einfach nicht entscheiden, welches Foto ich posten sollte, daher habe ich alle drei auf ein Foto gesetzt, in der Art Ansichtskarte ;-))
