Château de Falaise
Château de Falaise is a 12th–13th century stone castle in Falaise, Normandy, occupying a high limestone crag above the town. Its surviving fabric includes a large rectangular grand donjon, a smaller keep, and a later cylindrical keep (Tour Talbot), all linked to curtain walls. The site is historically associated with the Dukes of Normandy and has been protected as a monument historique since the 19th century.

As it stood in 1207
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a steep limestone crag, the castle presents a compact silhouette of three main keeps: a massive rectangular grand donjon with vertical blind arcading, a smaller rectangular petit donjon, and a tall cylindrical tower (Tour Talbot) with corbelled machicolations. Pale grey-beige stone walls and narrow slit windows rise directly from the rock, linked by low curtain walls and ramparts; the rooflines are crenellated and the complex crowns the cliff above the town.
