As it stood in 1384
The shape it held in its prime.
The Château de Dinan's keep is formed by two tall, joined circular stone towers rising to about 34 m, built of pale grey ashlar with horizontal course lines. Deep overhanging machicolations with corbelled stone supports crown the summit; narrow arrow-slit windows and a few larger mullioned openings puncture the walls. A stone plinth bases the towers; the keep is separated from the town and outer ramparts by a moat and a wooden drawbridge at the gate, with adjoining curtain-wall of medieval ramparts.
