Château de Coucy
The Château de Coucy is a 13th‑century French castle on a high bluff above the town of Coucy‑le‑Château. It was notable for its irregular trapezoidal curtain walls, four very large cylindrical corner towers and an enormous circular donjon at the line of approach. Largely destroyed in 1917, the site remains a consolidated ruin and is managed as a historic monument.

As it stood in 1300
The shape it held in its prime.
Sited on the tip of a steep bluff, the castle forms an irregular trapezoid of curtain walls punctuated at the four corners by massive cylindrical towers roughly 20 m across; between two towers on the main approach rose a colossal circular donjon about 35 m in diameter and 55 m tall. Built of pale regional stone, the fortification included a lower outer court spilling down the slope toward the town and a compact inner ward around the donjon.
