Château de Tancarville
Tancarville, France, France
Château de Tancarville is an 11th-century ruined fortress perched on a chalk cliff overlooking the Seine River estuary near the commune of Tancarville in Normandy's Seine-Maritime department, France.
Built by Raoul de Tancarville, chamberlain to William the Conqueror, it features a massive square 12th-century donjon tower with 1.65-meter-thick walls within a triangular fortified enclosure, protecting the vital river entrance through families like Melun, Harcourt, and La Tour d'Auvergne.
A classical 18th-century wing was added in 1709 by the Count of Evreux before looting and fires post-French Revolution left dramatic remnants amid greenery, now a classified historic monument closed to the public but admired for its panoramic views.
