Totally impressive. You should stop by.

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.

Since March 2023 and until 2025, work will be carried out under the direction of architect Philippe Prost and landscape architect Thierry Lavergne to transform the castle grounds. Entitled "The castle within its walls", the 4-hectare site will be given over to 75% green space. The avenues will be redesigned to structure this large inner garden and guide visitors. A 700 m² reception area will be built towards the Porte des Champs. The "hidden treasures" will be highlighted, such as the remains of the keep, the towers of the ramparts and the dungeons of the Saint-Pierre gate.

really very good this little hike

Nice route to walk. The last part was a less good road. Lots of vegetation over the road and high nettles.

Modern statue of William the Conqueror and his wife Queen Mathilde.
