A military fortress with a defensive purpose, built in 1097, during the reign of William the Conqueror's second son, Gisors Castle marks a major page in the medieval history of Normandy. This fortification was intended to protect the Norman possessions of the King of England against the ambitions of the King of France. A true border place and eastern lock of Normandy, it was part of a vast campaign of fortifications in the Epte Valley, the natural boundary between the two kingdoms.

Old fortified castle, built between the end of the 11th and the 12th century, today in ruins.

This is why it had a large number of fortifications. Here, precisely in Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, the treaty was signed in 911 between Charles III the Simple and Rollo, Viking leader, aimed at establishing the Normans in Neustria in order to protect the kingdom of Charles III from their incursions by sea This treaty gave birth to the Duchy of Normandy.
