Creully
France, France
Creully is a small historic town in the Normandy region of France, now part of the commune Creully sur Seulles. It is known primarily for its impressive medieval castle, Château de Creully, which dates back to the 11th century. Originally a large manor house, the castle was fortified during the Hundred Years War and changed hands between the French and English.
Its architecture reflects many periods, including a 14th-century square tower and Renaissance additions. During World War II, the castle served as the BBC's broadcasting post after the D-Day landings, transmitting vital news about the Battle of Normandy.
The town itself features historic buildings such as the 12th-century Church of Saint Martin and old market halls dating from the 13th to 17th centuries. Today, the castle is a cultural venue for events and guided tours, and visitors often explore the area's rich history, especially related to the D-Day events.
