The Château de Caen is the former city fortress of the Norman dukes in the city of Caen in what is now the Normandy region in northern France. It houses, among other things, the cultural-historical Musée de Normandie[1] and the modern building of the Musée des Beaux-Arts. The entire complex has been recognized as a monument historique since 1997.

Built between the 13th and 16th centuries, it plays with the transition of styles: radiant and flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance. It has a magnificent 14th century bell tower, almost 80 m high, which is currently being restored. Particularly worth seeing are the vault of the choir, the chapels of the ambulatory in late Gothic style and the carved capitals of the third pillar of the nave on the north side, which depict four scenes from chivalric romances and satirical writings of the Middle Ages. J.F. Dupont organ, built in 1997.
