Donjon de Rouen
Rouen, France, France
The Donjon de Rouen, also known as the Tower of Joan of Arc, is the only surviving part of the medieval Château de Rouen, a fortress built by King Philip Augustus in the early 13th century.
This massive circular keep, with walls over four meters thick, was designed as a symbol of royal authority and as the castle’s strongest defensive structure. The tower is closely linked to Joan of Arc, who was brought to the castle during her trial in 1431. The Donjon remains associated with her story and has become one of Rouen’s most important historical landmarks.
Today, the restored tower serves as a museum where visitors can learn about medieval Rouen, the castle’s history, and Joan of Arc’s legacy. Its impressive architecture and panoramic views over the city make it one of Rouen’s most notable heritage sites.
